Chapter 2: Q.23E (page 67)

Average atomic masses listed by IUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9183 and 80.9163 amu) and abundance (50.69% and 49.31%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Bromine average mass = (0.5069脳78.9183) +(0.4931脳80.9163)

Avg. atomic mass = (40.003+39.899) amu

= 79.90 amu

Step by step solution

01

– Determine the above solution

50.60% =\(\frac{{50.60}}{{100}} = 0.5069\)

49.31% = \(\frac{{49.31}}{{100}} = 0.4931\)

02

– Determine the Formula of Average mass

Average mass =\(\sum\limits_i {{{(fractional\,\,abundance \times isotopic\,mass)}_i}} \)

Bromine average mass = (0.5069脳78.9183)+(0.4931脳80.9163)

Avg. atomic mass= (40.003+39.899) amu

= 79.90 amu

Predict and test the behavior of 伪 particles fired at a 鈥減lum pudding鈥� model atom.

(a) Predict the paths taken by 伪 particles that are fired at atoms with a Thomson鈥檚 plum pudding model structure. Explain why you expect the 伪 particles to take these paths.

(b) If 伪 particles of higher energy than those in (a) are fired at plum pudding atoms, predict how their paths will differ from the lower-energy 伪 particle paths. Explain your reasoning.

(c) Now test your predictions from (a) and (b). Open the Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetScatter) and select the 鈥淧lum Pudding Atom鈥� tab. Set 鈥淎lpha Particles Energy鈥� to 鈥渕in,鈥� and select 鈥渟how traces.鈥� Click on the gun to start firing 伪 particles. Does this match your prediction from (a)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Hit the pause button, or 鈥淩eset All.鈥� Set 鈥淎lpha Particles Energy鈥� to 鈥渕ax,鈥� and start firing 伪 particles. Does this match your prediction from (b)? If not, explain the effect of increased energy on the actual paths as shown in the simulation.
