The mass of 12 I is 128.9050 amu atomic mass Submit My Answers Give Up

Explanation / Answer

Molar mass of contaminated iodine = Mass total / total moles

Total moles = moles of naturally occurring Iodine + moles of synthetic Iodine

Total mass = 12.3849 g + 1.00070 g

Moles of naturally occurring Iodine =12.3849 g / molar mass of natural Iodine

= 12.3849 g x 1 mol / 126.9045 g

=0.0975923 mol

Moles of synthetic iodine = 1.00070 g x 1 mol / 128.9050 = 0.00776308 mol

Apparent molar mass = ( 12.3849+1.00070)/(0.0975923+0.00776308) =127.05191 amu

So the answer is 127.05191 amu
