Vedclass · Answer

(D) The average atomic mass is calculated by the weighted average of the isotopes: $	ext{Average atomic mass} = \frac{(	ext{Abundance of } ^{35}Cl 	imes 	ext{Mass of } ^{35}Cl) + (	ext{Abundance of } ^{37}Cl 	imes 	ext{Mass of } ^{37}Cl)}{100}$ $	ext{Average atomic mass} = \frac{(75.77 	imes 34.9689) + (24.23 	imes 36.9659)}{100}$ $	ext{Average atomic mass} = \frac{2649.59 + 895.68}{100} = \frac{3545.27}{100} = 35.4527 \ u$ Rounding to two decimal places,we get $35.45 \ u$.

Isotope	$\%$ Natural Abundance	Molar Mass $(g/mol)$
$^{35}Cl$	$75.77$	$34.9689$
$^{37}Cl$	$24.23$	$36.9659$

Calculate the atomic mass (average) of chlorine using the following data:
