, (c) Silicon has three stable isotopes.
A sample of silicon was found to have a relative atomic mass, Ar ,
of 28.11 due to the presence of only the three stable isotopes.
The abundance for two of the isotopes is given in the table.

for an atom of element X that has four fewer protons and three
fewer neutrons than an atom of 28Si.

, 2 This question is about the double salt K2Mg(SO4)2.6H2O.
A double salt is a salt containing more than one cation or more
than one anion.
(a) (i) Give the reason why the term relative formula mass is
used, rather than relative molecular mass, when (1)
discussing K2Mg(SO4)2.6H2O.
(iii) What is the relative formula mass of
K2Mg(SO4)2.6H2O? Use the Periodic Table as
a source of data. (1)
