Solution

Para resolver este problema, debemos usar la fórmula del promedio ponderado de las masas atómicas de los isótopos. La fórmula es:

Masa atoˊmica promedio=(f1×m1)+(f2×m2) \text{Masa atómica promedio} = (f_1 \times m_1) + (f_2 \times m_2)

donde:

  • f1 f_1 y f2 f_2 son las fracciones de abundancia isotópica de los isótopos.
  • m1 m_1 y m2 m_2 son las masas isotópicas de los isótopos.

Dado que la abundancia isotópica de 185Re ^{185}\text{Re} es 37.4%, podemos convertir esto a una fracción decimal:

f1=0.374 f_1 = 0.374

La abundancia isotópica de 187Re ^{187}\text{Re} será el complemento de 37.4%:

f2=10.374=0.626 f_2 = 1 - 0.374 = 0.626

Sabemos que:

  • La masa isotópica de 185Re ^{185}\text{Re} (m1 m_1 ) es 184.953 amu.
  • La masa atómica promedio de Re es 186.207 amu.

Ahora, sustituimos estos valores en la fórmula y resolvemos para m2 m_2 (la masa de 187Re ^{187}\text{Re} ):

186.207=(0.374×184.953)+(0.626×m2) 186.207 = (0.374 \times 184.953) + (0.626 \times m_2)

Primero, calculamos el primer término:

0.374×184.953=69.168 0.374 \times 184.953 = 69.168

Entonces, la ecuación se convierte en:

186.207=69.168+(0.626×m2) 186.207 = 69.168 + (0.626 \times m_2)

Restamos 69.168 de ambos lados de la ecuación:

186.20769.168=0.626×m2 186.207 - 69.168 = 0.626 \times m_2

117.039=0.626×m2 117.039 = 0.626 \times m_2

Finalmente, dividimos ambos lados de la ecuación por 0.626 para encontrar m2 m_2 :

m2=117.0390.626 m_2 = \frac{117.039}{0.626}

m2187.0 m_2 \approx 187.0

Por lo tanto, la masa de 187Re ^{187}\text{Re} es aproximadamente 187.0 amu.
