- The mass spectrum of phosphoryl chloride. POF3, is illustrated here. (a) Identify the cation fragment at a m/Z ratio of 85. (b) Identify the cation fragment at a m/Z ratio of 69. (c) Which two peaks in the mass spectrum provide evidence that the oxygen atom is connected to the phosphorus atom and is not connected to any of the three fluorine atoms?arrow_forwardhe vigorous reaction between aluminum and iodine gives the balanced equation: :math>2Al(s)+3I2(s)2AlI2(s). mg src=Images/HTML_99425-9-2QAP_image001.jpg alt="" align="top"/> at do the coefficients in this balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which these substances react on a macroscopic (mole) basis?arrow_forwardThe element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forward

The atomic masses of 35Cl (75.53%) and 37Cl (24.47%) are 34.968 amu and 36.956 amu, respectively. Calculate the average atomic mass of chlorine. The percentages in parentheses denote the relative abundances. 3. The atomic masses of 6Li and 7Li are 6.0151 amu and 7.0160 amu, respectively. Calculate the natural abundances of these two isotopes. The average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu. 4. One isotope of a metallic element has mass number 65 and 35 neutrons in the nucleus. The cation derived from the isotope has 28 electrons. Write the symbol for this cation. 5. One isotope of a nonmetallic element has mass number 127 and 74 neutrons in the nucleus. The anion derived from the isotope has 54 electrons. Write the symbol for this anion.arrow_forwardAn element (A) has 5 isotopes. The masses (and abundances) of the isotopes 46A, 47A, 48A, 50A are 4595263 u (7.25 %), 46.9518 u (6.44 %), 47.9479 u (63.72 %), and 49.9448 u (5.18 %) respectively. If the element Ahas an atomic mass of 47.87 u, and the last isotope 49A has a percent abundance in the ratio of 3.361 that of SA, what is the mass of 49A?arrow_forward
