- 3.95 Cumene is a hydrocarbon, meaning that it contains only carbon and hydrogen. If this compound is 89.94% C by mass and its molar mass is 120.2 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?arrow_forwardChlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardThe element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forward
