Element X has two naturally occurring isotopes, 65X (isotopic mass 65.0457 amu, abundance 20.53%) and 67X (isotopic mass 66.9704 amu, abundance 79.47%). Calculate the atomic mass of element X.

Element X, with an atomic mass of 66.58 amu, has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶⁵X (65.0457 amu, 20.53%) and ⁶⁷X (66.9704 amu,  79.47%).

The average atomic mass (atomic mass) of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes, each multiplied by its natural abundance.

Element X has 2 isotopes:

We can calculate the average atomic mass of X using the following expression.

mX = m⁶⁵X × ab⁶⁵X + m⁶⁷X × ab⁶⁷X

mX = 65.0457 amu × 0.2053 + 66.9704 amu × 0.7947

mX = 66.58 amu

Element X, with an atomic mass of 66.58 amu, has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶⁵X (65.0457 amu, 20.53%) and ⁶⁷X (66.9704 amu,  79.47%).

66.5753 amu

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A (⁶⁵X):

Mass of A = 65.0457 amu

Abundance of A = 20.53%

Isotope B (⁶⁷X):

Mass of B = 66.9704 amu

Abundance of B = 79.47%

Atomic mass of X =?

The atomic mass of X can be obtained as follow:

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

= [(65.0457 × 20.53)/100] + [(66.9704 × 79.47)/100]

= 13.3539 + 53.2214

= 66.5753 amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of X is 66.5753 amu.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
