Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Atomic Mass • Refers to the mass of an atom. • Number of protons and neutrons • Atoms are too small to mass so mass is determined by the relative mass of a standard atom. By international agreement (IUPAC), Carbon12 is the chosen standard atom because of its abundance here on Earth. Atomic Mass Unit defined is a mass exactly equal to 1/12th of one carbon12 atom. 1 carbon12 atom = 12 amu Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determine Atomic Mass Unit for Hydrogen Hydrogen 1 as 1 proton and 0 neutrons 1/12 = .0833 x 100 = 8.33% So hydrogen is 8.33% of one atom of Carbon12 Atomic Mass of Hydrogen = mass of 1 atom of Carbon 12 x 8.33% = 12 x .0833 =.9996 = 1.0 amu Through different methods of experimental testing, chemists have more accurately determined the mass of hydrogen to be 1.008, which is more like 8.40%. Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Average Atomic Mass: Because element's usually have more than one isotope, which means their masses are different an average must be determine to reflect the mass of all an atom's isotopes. Example: A sample of cesium is 75% Cs-133, 20% Cs-132, and 5% Cs-134. What is the average atomic mass? ANSWER: .75 x 133 = 99.75 .20 x 132 = 26.4 .05 x 134 = 6.7 Total = 132.85 amu average atomic mass unit Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass Iodine: 80% 127 I 17% 126 I 3% 128 I ANSWER: .80 x 127 = 101.6 .17 x 126 = 21.42 .03 x 128 = 3.84 Total = 126.86 amu Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Determining Atomic Mass Practice with Answers Bromine which exists as a dark, red gas is Br2.

Isotopes of M&M-Ium
Name _________________________________________________________________ Hour __________________ Isotopes of m&m-ium Elements commonly exist with differing numbers of neutrons. We call these elements isotopes and an example is Bromine-79 and Bromine-81. These isotopes are naturally occurring…but do not exist equally in nature. Br-79 is more common and occurs 55% of the time while Br-81 occurs 45% of the time. To calculate the average atomic mass (the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes) of bromine you need to take into account the relative abundance of each element. The average atomic mass = (% abundance of isotope 1)x(mass of isotope 1) + (% abundance of isotope 2)x(mass of isotope 2) (% should be expressed in decimals) Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Calculate the average atomic mass of Bromine using the % abundances above: 2. Carbon has 2 stable isotopes: C-12 with a natural abundance of 98.89% and C-14 at 1.11%. Calculate the average atomic mass of Carbon. m&mium, a recently discovered element from the chocolate mountains of Wonkaland, exits as two isotopes. m&mium has many different colors and your job is to find the average atomic mass of one color of m&mium. Safety Precautions: Never eat anything that has touched lab equipment! Use a baking cup so your group can eat the m&ms when you are done! Procedure: Show all work for all calculations. 1. Record the number of small m&m’s and large m&m’s you have (your color only) in the table. 2. Record the total number of m&m’s you have.

Radiotracer Methodology in Biological Science
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Lee Willis for the Doctor of Philosophy in General Science (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented May 10, 1963 Title RADIOTRACER METHODOLOGY IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE Abstract approved (Major professor) The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological sys- tems has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physi- cal nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation, and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity. More importantly, the investigator employing radioisotopic tracers must be familiar with the methodology involved in design of radio - tracer experiments, the preparation of radioactive samples for assay, and the problems inherent in analyzing data from radiotracer experi- ments. The purpose in the preparation of this thesis was to present a summary of the essential concepts and information needed by the biologist who desires to make use of radiotracer methods in his in- vestigations. The thesis is set forth in the form of an introductory text, suitable either for class or individual use. The presentation is divided into three major sections: (I) the text proper, covering the principles of radiotracer rnethodology, (?) a set of basic labora- tory exercises, intended to farniliarize the user with procedures in detecting and characterizing radioactivity, and (3) a selection of typical radiotracer experiments illustrating applications in varior.zs fields of biological science. This latter secti.on is thought to be parti- cularly valuable in that it furnishes step-by-step examples of design and execu.tion of typical radiotracer experirnents " In view of the fact that liquid sci.ntillation counting has recently come into widespread favor arnong biologists using tritium and carbon-14 labeled tracer compounds and yet no comprehensive moilo- graph is available on the subject, particular attention has been de- voted to this assay rnethod.
