Answer: 3) 39.96 amu
Explanation:
Mass of isotope Ar- 36 = 35.97 amu
% abundance of isotope Ar- 36= 0.337% =
Mass of isotope Ar- 38 = 37.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 0.063 % =
Mass of isotope Ar- 40 = 39.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 99.600 % =
Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :
Therefore, the average atomic mass of argon is 39.96 amu
Equation: 2K + S --> K2S
Chemical formula: K2S
