Solution
The relative atomic mass of Cl atom is 35.5 a.m.u. because chlorine consists of a mixture of two isotopes of masses 35 and 37 in the ratio of 3 : 1.
The average of the isotopic masses is 35 x 3 + 37 x 4 = 35.5
Concept Insight: Isotopes are atoms of same having same atomic number but different mass number.
