The two isotopes of chlorine are 3517Cl and 3717Cl in the ratio of 3:1. What is the average atomic mass of the chlorine atom?
37 u
35 u
35.5 u
72 u
Average atomic mass of chlorine is given by:
{(35 x 3) + (37 x 1)}/4 = 35.50 u
Chlorine has two isotopes having atomic masses of 35u and 37u each. They are present in the ratio 3:1 respectively. The average atomic mass of Chlorine is _______u.
