Atomic Calculations and Mass Spectrometry
Quantum Orbital Video
2
Atomic Mass – Atomic Number = # Neutrons
(p + n) (p) = (n)
3
Complete the following chart:
protons electrons neutrons H Zr Ca2+ P3- Al3+ Cl-
4
Isotopes- same atomic number but different mass
For example, there are 3 types of hydrogen atoms. 1H H H Not all atoms of the same element are identical.
5
Mass Spectrometers Are used to determine the abundance and mass of the isotopes of elements
8
Mass Spectrometers A device known as a mass spectrometer can be used to determine the relative abundance and the mass of the isotopes of elements. In the graph the isotopes of a sample of the element zirconium can be seen in their relative abundances.
9
The data can be summarized as follows:
Isotope Mass` Abundance 90Zr amu % 91Zr amu % 92Zr amu % 94Zr amu % 96Zr amu % atomic mass of isotope 100 %
10
Calculate the weighted average mass of zirconium using the data above.
Change each percent to a decimal by dividing by 100. Multiply by the mass. Add it all together. 0.515(90.00) (91.00) (92.00) (94.00) (96.00) = 91.3 amu 3 sig figs! Look up the mass on the periodic chart. The unit amu describes how many times heavier than the mass of H = 91.2 amu They are the same with uncertainty
11
Calculate the average atomic mass for Germanium
36.54 % amu 27.43 % amu 20.52 % amu 7.76 % amu 7.76 % amu (0.2052)( ) + (0.2743)( ) + (0.0776)( ) + (0.3654)( ) + (0.0776)( ) = = 72.6 amu Periodic Table = 72.6 amu
