Problems. You must clearly show your work for full credit.
1. Assume that the element with atomic number 113 has just been discovered in two different
forms: one with 139 neutrons and one with 145 neutrons. If the first form occurs 75% of the
time, what atomic mass should be listed on the periodic table for this element?
(113 + 139) * 0.75 + (113 + 145) * 0.25 = 253.5 amu

fermentation?
360 g glucose x 1 mole glucose
180 g glucose
x 2 moles ethanol x 46 g ethanol
