Question
Antimony has many uses—for example, in semiconductor infrared devices and as part of an alloy in lead storage batteries. The element has two naturally occurring isotopes, one with mass 120.904 amu, the other with mass 122.904 amu.
(a) Write the \({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{X}\) notation for each isotope.
(b) Use the atomic mass of antimony from the periodic table to calculate the natural abundance of each isotope.
Solution
Step 1 of 2
a.
Given mass of naturally occurring isotopes are 120.904amu and 122.904 amu.
Let’s explain the \({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{X}\) notation of the isotopes.
\({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{X}\)
Here, Z is atomic number,
A is atomic mass
X- symbol.
The given atomic mass = 120.904amu and 122.904amu.
Antimony symbol = Sb
Atomic number = 51
Let’s write the \({ }_{Z}^{A} \mathrm{X}\) of two isotopes.
Therefore, the two isotopes are \({ }_{51}^{120.904} S b\) and \({ }_{51}^{122.904} S b\)
full solution
Antimony has many uses, for example, in infrared devices

Problem 103P Fluoride ion is poisonous in relatively low amounts: 0.2 g of F- per 70 kg of body weight can cause death. Nevertheless, in order to prevent tooth decay, F- ions are added to drinking water at a concentration of 1 mg of F- ion per L of water. How many liters of fluoridated drinking water would a 70-kg person have to consume in one day to reach this toxic level? How many kilograms of sodium fluoride would be needed to treat a 8.5 ×107-gal reservoir?
