The atomic mass of europium is 151.9 amu. There are two naturally occuring isotopes on europium, eu-151 with a mass of 151.0 amu and eu153 with a mass of 153.0. The percent natural abundance of the eu151 should be

55%

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope eu-151

Let B represent isotope eu-153

Let A% represent Abundance of isotope A (eu-151)

Let B represent abundance of isotope B (eu-153)

The abundance of isotope A (eu-151) can be obtained as follow:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question include:

Atomic mass of Europium = 151.9 amu

Mass of isotope A (eu-151) = 151.0 amu

Mass of isotope B (eu-153) = 153.0

amu

Abundance of isotope A (eu-151) = A%

Abundance of B (eu-153) = B% = 100 - A%

Step 2:

Determination of the abundance of Abundance of isotope A (eu-151). This is illustrated below:

Atomic mass = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%)/100]

151.9 = [(151 x A%)/100] + [(153x B%)/100]

151.9 = [(151 x A%)/100] + [(153x (100-A%))/100]

151.9 = [151A%/100] + [15300 -

153A%/100]

151.9 = (151A% + 15300 - 153A%) /100

Cross multiply to express in linear form

151.9 x100 = 151A% + 15300 - 153A%

15190 = 151A% + 15300 - 153A%

Collect like terms

15190 - 15300= 151A% - 153A%

- 110 = - 2A%

Divide both side by - 2

A% = - 110 / - 2

A% = 55%

Therefore the abundance of eu-151 is 55%

The natural abundance of eu-153 is 45.0 %

The natural abundance of eu-151 is 55.0 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The atomic mass of europium is 151.9 amu.

eu-151 hass with a mass of 151.0 amu

eu153 hass a mass of 153.0 amu

Step 2: Calculate the percent natural abundance

natural abundance eu-151 = X

natural abundance eu-153 = 1-X

151.9 = 151.0* X + 153.0 * (1-X)

151.9 = 151.0X + 153.0 -153.0 X

-1.1 = -2.0 X

X = 0.55 = 55 %

The natural abundance of eu-153 is 45.0 %

The natural abundance of eu-151 is 55.0 %

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current
