An element of atomic weight Z consists of two isotopes of mass number Z - 1 and Z + 2. Calculate the % of higher isotope. |
|
Answer» ce of an isotope can be calculated as follows :LET abundance of isotope with ATOMIC mass Z+2 is XTHEN abundance of isotope Z-1 is 1-x(Z+2) x + (Z-1)(1-x) = ZSolving we get x=1/3Therefore abundance of Z+2 is = (1/3)*100=33.33 %And abundance of Z-1 is = 1-33.33 =67.66 %THEREFOR isotope with atomic mass Z-1 is higher in % abundanceHope It Helps.Please Mark As Brainliest |
