Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?
Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?
Boron consists of two isotopes, 10B and 11B. Chlorine also has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl. Consider the mass spectrum of BC13. How many peaks would be present, and what approximate mass would each peak correspond to in the BCl3 mass spectrum?
Gallium arsenide, GaAs, has gained widespread use in semiconductor devices that convert light and electrical signals in fiber-optic communications systems. Gallium consists of 60.% 69Ga and 40.% 71Ga. Arsenic has only one naturally occurring isotope, 75As. Gallium arsenide is a polymeric material, but its mass spectrum shows fragments with the formulas GaAs and Ga2As2. What would the distribution of peaks look like for these two fragments?
By x-ray diffraction it is possible to determine the geometric pattern in which atoms are arranged in a crystal and the distances between atoms. In a crystal of silver, four atoms effectively occupy the volume of a cube 0.409 nm on an edge. Taking the density of silver to be 10.5 g/cm3, calculate the number of atoms in one mole of silver.
The element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?
Chalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?
3.123 Most periodic tables provide molar masses with four or five significant figures for the elements. How accurately would you have to measure the mass of a sample of roughly 100 g to make a calculation of the number of moles of the chemical to have its significant figures limited by the molar mass calculation rather than the mass measurement?

With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to write with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface. a. If an image is prepared by manipulating iron atoms and their total mass is 1.05 1020 g, what number of iron atoms were used? b. If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? c. If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part b is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface?
The mass spectrum of CH3Cl is illustrated here. You know that carbon has two stable isotopes, and 13C with relative abundances of 98.9% and 1.1%, respectively, and chlorine has two isotopes, 35a and 37CI with abundances of 75.77% and 24.23%, respectively. (a) What molecular species gives rise to the lines at m/Z of 50 and 52? Why is the line at 52 about 1/3 the height of the line at 50? (b) What species might be responsible for the line at m/Z = 51?
Fulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.
