MCQ
Assuming chlorine element has two isotopes as  $Cl^{35}$  and $Cl^{37}$  with their percentage abundance as $25\%$  and  $75\%$  respectively. Find the average atomic weight
  • A
    $35.5$
  • B
    $40$
  • $36.5$
  • D
    $38.5$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$36.5$
c
Avg. atomic mass $= \frac {m_1x_1\,\,+\,\,m_2x_2}{x_1\,\,+\,\,x_2}$

                              $=\frac {35\times 25 +37\times 75}{25+75}$
