Chapter 2, Problem 2.146

(choose chapter or problem)

Dinitrogen monoxide (N2O; nitrous oxide) is a greenhouse gas that enters the atmosphere principally from natural fertilizer breakdown. Some studies have shown that the isotope ratios of 15N to 14N and of 18O to 16O in N2O depend on the source, which can thus be determined by measuring the relative abundance of molecular masses in a sample of N2O. (a) What different molecular masses are possible for N2O? (b) The percent abundance of 14N is 99.6%, and that of 16O is 99.8%. Which molecular mass of N2O is least common, and which is most common?
