KVPY2013ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Natural abundances of ¹² C and ¹³ C isotopes of carbon are 99 % and 1 % , respectively. Assuming they only contributes to the mol. wt. of C ₂ F ₄ , the percentage of C ₂ F ₄ having a molecular mass of 101 is
Options
- A1.98
- B98
- C0.198
- D99
Correct answer
A. 1.98
Step-by-step solution
Percentage of C ₂ F ₄ of Molar mass 100= 1 100 1 100 100=0.01 % Percentage of C ₂ F ₄ of Molar mass 102= 99 100 99 100 100=98.01 % Percentage of C ₂ F ₄ of Molar mass 101=100-(0.01+98.01)=1.98 %
