Chapter 11, Problem 51E
There are two different isotopes of bromine atoms. Under normal conditions, elemental bromine consists of Br2 molecules, and the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the masses of the two atoms in the molecule. The mass spectrum of Br2 consists of three peaks:
Mass (amu) Relative Size
157.836 0.2569
159.834 0.4999
161.832 0.2431
- What is the origin of each peak (of what isotopes does each consist)?
- What is the mass of each isotope?
- Determine the average molecular mass of a Br2 molecule.
- Determine the
average atomic mass of a bromine atom. - Calculate the
