Question

If an element X has two isotopes X1 and X2 and occur in nature as X% and Y% respectively , then write the equation for the average atomic mass of the element.Give any 4 applications of isotopes (atomic mass of isotopes X1 and X2 are 35 and 37 respectively).

Answer 1

Isotopes X1 and X2 are chlorine35 and chlorine37 respectively. Their applications--
1- chlorine is used as an disinfectant.
2- 20% of produced Chlorine used in making pvc, plastic bags, blood bags etc..
3- Another major use for chlorine is in organic chemistry. It is used as an oxidising agent and in substitution reactions.
