Use the data given in the following table to calculate the molar mass of naturally occurring argon isotopes:
Isotope |
Isotopic molar mass |
Abundance |
36Ar |
35.96755 gmol–1 |
0.337% |
38Ar |
37.96272 gmol–1 |
0.063% |
40Ar |
39.9624 gmol–1 |
99.600% |
Molar mass of argon =
Atomic mass of 36Ar = 35.96755 & abundance = 0.337
Or
total atomic mass of 36Ar = 35.96755 * 0.337= 0.121g/mol
Atomic mass of 38Ar = 37.96272 & abundance = 0.063
Or
total atomic mass of 38Ar = 37.96272 * 0.063= 0.024g/mol
Atomic mass of 40Ar =39.9624 & abundance = 99.600
Or
total atomic mass of 40Ar = 39.9624 * 99.600= 39.802g/mol
Therefore molar mass of argon = total mass of 36Ar+ total mass of 38Ar + atomic mass of 40Ar
= 0.121 + 0.024 + 39.802= 39.947 g/mol
