Question 2

Given the following isotopic data, calculate the average atomic mass. Show your work using the formula:

$$	ext{Average atomic mass} = (	ext{mass}_1 	imes 	ext{abundance}_1) + (	ext{mass}_2 	imes 	ext{abundance}_2)$$

Isotope A: 12.7396 amu (25.000%)
Isotope B: 11.3338 amu (75.000%)

Which of the following is the correct average atomic mass (rounded to 5 significant figures)?

Accepted Answer

11.685

Question 3

A 53.2 g sample of phosphoric acid ($$\mathrm{H_3PO_4}) $$has a density of $$1.685\ \mathrm{g/mL}. $$What volume in mL does it occupy? Use the formula:

$$	ext{Volume} = \frac{	ext{Mass}}{	ext{Density}}$$

Accepted Answer

31.6 mL

Question 4

A urine sample has a mass of 96.05 g and a volume of 14.61 mL. What is its specific gravity? (Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the sample to the density of water, $$1.00\ \mathrm{g/mL}$$.)
