KVPY2017ChemistryStructure of Atom
Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, ³⁵ Cl and ³⁷ Cl . If the atomic mass of Cl is 35.45 the ratio of natural abundance of ³⁵ Cl and ³⁷ Cl is closest to
Options
- A3.5: 1
- B3: 1
- C2.5: 1
- D4: 1
Correct answer
B. 3: 1
Step-by-step solution
Mav = M ₁ n ₁+ M ₂ n ₂ n ₁+ n ₂ 35.45= 35 n ₁+37 n ₂ n ₁+ n ₂ n ₁: n ₂=3: 1
