Question 17

A hypothetical element 'Coronium' has two isotopes $$A_1$$ and $$A_2$$. The mass of $$3 \times 10^{22}$$ atoms of $$A_1$$ is 20 g while the mass of $$1.5 \times 10^{22}$$ atoms of $$A_2$$ is 10.5 g. Then average atomic weight of element 'Coronium' in isotopic mixture ($$3 \times 10^{22}$$ atoms of $$A_1$$ and $$1.5 \times 10^{22}$$ atoms of $$A_2$$) would be approximately

The mixture contains $$4.5 \times 10^{22}$$ atoms with total mass $$20 + 10.5 = 30.5$$ g. The average atomic weight is the mass of one mole of such atoms, $$\frac{30.5}{4.5 \times 10^{22}} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} \approx 6.778 \times 60.23 \approx 408.2$$. Hence the answer is 408.23.
