- Gallium is a metal which forms compounds with a wide variety of uses. Some of the applications of gallium compounds include computer memory chips, light emitting diodes and lasers. Radioactive isotopes of gallium are used to image the human body and locate tumors. Naturally occurring gallium consists of two isotopes. One of those isotopes is 71Ga with an isotopic mass of 70.9247050 amu and an abundance of 39.892%. What is the mass number of the other isotope?arrow_forwardAntimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, 12 Sb and 123Sb. 12'Sb has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u, and 123Sb has an atomic mass of 122.9042 u.

Which of the statements are consistent with the law of constant composition (definite proportions)? Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 3.30 g of calcium. The ratio of calcium to sulfur will vary based on how the sample was prepared. The mass percentage of calcium plus the mass percentage of sulfur in every sample of calcium sulfide equals 100%. The mass ratio of S to Ca in every sample of calcium sulfide is 0.80. Every sample of calcium sulfide will have 55.6% mass of calcium.arrow_forward
