- Below is a representation of 50 atoms of a fictitious element called westmontium (Wt)(Wt). The red spheres represent WtWt-296, the blue spheres WtWt-297, and the green spheres WtWt-298. A)Assuming that the sample is statistically representative of a naturally occurring sample, calculate the percent natural abundance of WtWt-296 isotope. Natural abundance of WtWt-296? B)Assuming that the sample is statistically representative of a naturally occurring sample, calculate the percent natural abundance of WtWt-297 isotope. Natural abundance of WtWt-297? C)Assuming that the sample is statistically representative of a naturally occurring sample, calculate the percent natural abundance of WtWt-298 isotope. Natural abundance of WtWt-298?arrow_forwardA new element has been discovered. This element has an atomic mass of 120.946 amu and only two naturally occurring isotopes. The first isotope has a natural abundance of 47.12% and an isotopic mass of 119.345 amu. What is the mass of the other isotope in amu?arrow_forwardCarbon has two stable isotopes, 12C, abundance 98.892%, and 13C, abundance 1.108%.

These elements are frequently found as oxides, and need to be separated in order to extract the pure element. Before going through this effort, it is useful to know what amount of the element can be extracted. How many moles of element A can be extracted from 175 grams of A5012?
