Anew compound was recently discovered and found to have an atomic weight of 342.38 amu. this element has two isotopes, the lighter of which has a mass of 340.91 amu and an abundance of 68.322%. what is the mass of the heavier isotope?

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

atomic wight of compound = 342.38 amu

lighter isotope mass = 340.91 amu

abundance of lighter isotope = 68.322%

mass of heavier isotope = ?

Solution:

average atomic mass = ( % age abundance of lighter isotope × its atomic mass) + (% age abundance of heavier isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

percentage of heavier isotope = 100- 68.322 = 31.678

Now we will put the values in formula.

342.38  = (68.322× 340.91) + (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 = 23291.65302 +  (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 × 100 = 23291.65302 +  (31.678 × X)

34238 -23291.65302 =  (31.678 × X)

10946.35 / 31.678 = X

345.6 = X

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
