Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.941 amu. Lithium has two isotopes. One isotopes has a mass of 6.015 amu with a relative abundance of 7.49%. What is the mass of the other isotopes?

Sagot :

Explanation:

List the known and unknown quantities and plan the problem. Change each percent abundance into decimal form by dividing by 100. Multiply this value by the atomic mass of that isotope. Add together for each isotope to get the average atomic mass.

Answer:

The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016

Explanation:

Given data:

Average Atomic mass of lithium = 6.941 amu

Atomic mass of first isotope = 6.015 amu

Relative abundance of first isotope = 7.49%

Abundance of second isotope = ?

Atomic mass of other isotope = ?

Solution:

Total abundance = 100%

100 - 7.49 = 92.51%

percentage abundance of second isotope = 92.51%

Now we will calculate the mass if second isotope.

Average atomic mass of lithium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

6.941 = (6.015×7.49)+(x×92.51) /100

6.941 =  45.05235 + (x92.51) / 100

6.941×100 = 45.05235 + (x92.51)

694.1 - 45.05235   = (x92.51)

649.04765 = x 92.51

x = 485.583 /92.51

x = 7.016

The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016
