To find the approximate ratio of the isotopes Cl-37 and Cl-35 based on the given average atomic mass of chlorine (35.5), we can use the concept of weighted averages. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem Chlorine has two isotopes: Cl-37 and Cl-35. The average atomic mass of chlorine is given as 35.5. We need to find the ratio of these two isotopes. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Let the ratio of Cl-37 to Cl-35 be represented as \( x:y \). We can express this as: - Let \( x \) be the number of Cl-37 atoms. ...
