Ar of Zirconium, Ar of Iron, Ar of Strentium, PROBLEM A Level, O level Chemistry Notes

 

SOLUTION:

Ar of Zirconium,

            (90X51) + (91X11.2) + (92X17.1) + (94.17.4) + (96X2.8)

                                                100

= 9131.8 / 100

= 91.318

 

Ar of Iron

 

                        = (54x10) + (56x90)

                                       100

= (540) + (5040)

            100

= 5580 / 100

= 55.8

Ar of Strentium,

 

                        = (86x20) + (88x80)

                                    100

                        = (1720) + (7040)

                                    100

                        = 8760 / 100

                        = 87.6            

PROBLEM:

           

            Selenium, Se is in group iv of the periodic table and occurs in nature as a mixture of six isotopes, having the relative atomic mass & relative abundance as given below:

Mass Number

74

76

77

78

80

82

% Abundance

0.9

9.0

7.6

23.5

49.8

9.2

 

SOLUTION

Ar of Selenium, Se

(74x0.9) + (76x9.0) + (77x7.6) + (78x23.5) + (80x49.8) + (82x9.2)

=         

100

 

(66.6) + (684) + (585.2) + (1833) + (3984) + (754.4)

=

                                                100

 

= 7907.2 / 100

= 79.072

 

PROBLEM:

            The relative atomic mass of potassium is 39.1. The two main isotopes of potassium are 39K and 41K. Which isotope is more abundant? What is the proportion of each isotopes in the sample of potassium?

 

SOLUTION:

Ar of potassium = 39.1

% abundance of 39K = P%

% abundance of 4.1K = (100 – P) %

            39.1 = (39xP) + 41(100-P) / 100

            3910 = 39P + 4100 – 41P

       41P – 39P = 4100 – 3910

                        2P = 190

                          P = 190 / 2

                          P = 95          

% abundance of 39K = 95%

% abundance of 41K = 5%
