- The element rhenium (Re) bas two naturally occurring isotopes, 185Re and 187Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 u. Rhenium is 62.60% 187Re, and the atomic mass of 187Re is 186.956 u. Calculate the mass of 185Re.arrow_forwardChlorine has two natural isotopes: 1737Cl and 1735Cl. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCl. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?arrow_forwardDuring nuclear decay a 238U atom can break apart into a helium-4 atom and one other atom. Assuming that no subatomic particles are destroyed during this decay process, what is the other element produced?arrow_forward
- Obtain the fractional abundances for the two naturally occurring isotopes of europium. The masses of the isotopes are 151Eu, 150.9196 amu; 153Eu, 152.9209 amu. The atomic weight is 151.9641 amu.arrow_forwardThe element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 u and 153Eu has a mass of 152.9209 u. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 u. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes.arrow_forwardDescribe how Dalton obtained relative atomic weights.arrow_forward
- Average atomic masses listed by JUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9 183 and 80.9 163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.3 1%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.arrow_forwardDefine the term atomic weight. Why might the values of atomic weights on a planet elsewhere in the universe be different from those on earth?arrow_forwardWhen a sample of phosphorus burns in air, the compound P4O10 forms. One experiment showed that 0.744 g of phosphorus formed 1.704 g of P4O10. Use this information to determine the ratio of the atomic weights of phosphorus and oxygen (mass P/mass O). If the atomic weight of oxygen is assumed to be 16.000, calculate the atomic weight of phosphorus.arrow_forward
