Question:
From the densities of the lines in the mass spectrum of krypton gas, the following observations were made:
• Somewhat more than 50% of the atoms were krypton-84.
• The numbers of krypton-82 and krypton-83 atoms were essentially equal.
• The number of krypton-86 atoms was 1.50 times as great as the number of krypton-82 atoms.
• The number of krypton-80 atoms was 19.6% of the number of krypton-82 atoms.
• The number of krypton-78 atoms was 3.0% of the number of krypton-82 atoms.
The masses of the isotopes are
78Kr, 77.9204 u 80Kr, 79.9164 u 82Kr, 81.9135 u 83Kr, 82.9141 u 84Kr, 83.9115 u 86Kr, 85.9106 u
The weighted-average atomic mass of Kr is 83.80. Use these data to calculate the percent isotopic abundances of the krypton isotopes.
