Lamarsh Solution Chapter 2
Lamarsh Solutions Chapter-2 2.5 This is a question of probability, For molecules which have an approximate weight of 2, there are two 1H and we can find the probability or the percentage over 1 as, 0.99985*0.99985=0.99970 The same calculation can be made for the mol. weights of 3 and 4 For 3 there are one 1H and one 2 H and so, 0.99985*0.00015=1.49e-4 For 4 there are two 2 H and so, 0.00015*0.00015=2.25e-8 2.7 From table of nuclides we can find the atomic weights of O and H using the abundances

1 x[99.759 x15.99492  0.097 x16.99913  0.204 x17.99916] 100 m(O)  15.99938 1 m( H )  x[99.985 x1.007825  0.015 x 2.0141] 100 m( H )  1.007975 m( H 2O)  18.01533 m(O) 
(a) # of moles of water= (b) # of 1H atoms=2.76 moles x 0.6022e24 x 2 atoms of H x 0.99985 abund. =3.32e24 atoms of 1H (c) # of 2 H atoms=2.76 moles x 0.6022e24 x 2 atoms of H x 0.015e-2 abund. =4.98e20 atoms of 2 H
