57
Q

Neon has three isotopes: Ne-20, Ne-21, and Ne-22. Which isotope is the most common?

A

Ne-20

Solution:
The atomic mass of neon is 20.18 amu

58
Q

Magnesium has three isotopes. Mg-25 occurs 10% of the time and Mg-24 occurs 79% of the time. How often does Mg-26 occur?

A

11%

Solution:
100 - 79 - 10 = 11

59
Q

In a sample of chlorine atoms, 99 atoms are Cl-35 and 31 atoms are Cl-37. Calculate the atomic mass of chlorine.

A

35.48 amu

Solution:
35 x 99 = 3465
37 x 31 = 1147

3465 + 1147 = 4612

4612/130 = 35.48 amu
