Que. 1. Gallium has 2 naturally occuring Isotopes with mass numbers 69 & 71 respectively. What is the percentage abundance of both Isotopes if their relative atomic mass is equal to 70.59 Amu (Atomic mass Unit)​

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different masses. The relative atomic mass (am) is a weighted average that takes into account the abundance of each isotope. We can calculate the relative atomic mass using the following expression.

where,

For Gallium,

    [1]

where "x" and "y" are the unknown abundances.

We also know that the sum of both abundances must be 100%.

x + y = 100

y = 100 - x   [2]

If we replace [2] in [1], we get

Then, in [2]

y = 100 - x = 100 - 20.5 = 79.5

In conclusion, Ga-69 has an abundance of 20.5% and Ga-71 has an abundance of 79.5%.

some sources quote the lethal dose, for an average 170lbs opiate-naive individual is between 75 and 375 mg

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.
