Answer

(a) The relative atomic masses of any element is the weighted average of the relative atomic masses of it's natural isotopes. Chlorine consists of a mixture of two isotopes of masses 35 and 37 in the ratio 3 : 1.

The average relative atomic mass of Cl = (35×3)+(37×1)4\dfrac{(35 \times 3) + (37 \times 1)}{4} = 35.5

(b) 6.022 × 1023

(c) The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 dm3 (litre) or 22400 cm3 (ml) at S.T.P.
