One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) technique. As corn photosynthesizes, it concentrates the isotope carbon-13, whereas most other plants concentrate carbon-12. Over-reliance on corn consumption can then be correlated with certain diseases, because corn lacks the essential amino acid lysine. Archaeologists use a mass spectrometer to separate the C12 and C 13 isotopes in samples of humans remains. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain single ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 8.50 km/s and what to bend them within a uniform magnetic field in a semicircle of diameter 25.0 cm for the C12 . The measured masses of these isotopes are 1.99 × 10^-26 kg ( C12 ) and 2.16 × 10^-26 kg ( C13).
Required:
a. What strength of magnetic field is required? (b) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle?
b. What is the separation of the C12 and C13 ions at the detector at the end of the semicircle? Is this distance large enough to be easily observed?

b. i. 2.14 cm ii. It is easily detectable.
Explanation:
a.
i. What strength of magnetic field is required?
Since the magnetic force F = Bqv equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r on the C12 charge, we have
F = F'
Bqv = mv²/r
B = mv/re where B = strength of magnetic field, m = mass of C12 isotope = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q = charge on C 12 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron)and r = radius of semicircle = 25.0 cm/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m
So,
B = mv/rq
B = 1.99 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (12.5 × 10⁻² m × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
B = 16.915 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ (20.025 × 10⁻²¹ mC)
B = 0.8447 × 10⁻² kg/sC)
B = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T
(ii) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle?
Since the magnetic force F = Bq'v equals the centripetal force F' = mv²/r' on the C13 charge, we have
F = F'
Bq'v = mv²/r'
r' = mv/Be where r = radius of semicircle, B = strength of magnetic field = 8.447 × 10⁻³ T, m = mass of C12 isotope = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg, v = speed of C 12 isotope = 8.50 km/s = 8.50 × 10³ m/s, q' = charge on C 13 isotope = e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C (since the isotope loses one electron) and = d/2 = 12.5 cm = 12.5 × 10⁻² m
So, r' = mv/Be
r' = 2.16 × 10⁻²⁶ kg × 8.50 × 10³ m/s ÷ (8.447 × 10⁻³ T × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
r' = 18.36 × 10⁻²³ kgm/s ÷ 13.5321 × 10⁻²² TC)
r' = 1.357 × 10⁻¹ kgm/TC)
r' = 0.1357 m
r' = 13.57 cm
Since diameter d' = 2r', d' = 2(13.57 cm) = 27.14 cm
b.
i. What is the separation of the C12 and C13 ions at the detector at the end of the semicircle?
Since the diameter of the C12 isotope is 25.0 cm and that of the C 13 isotope is 27.14 cm, their separation at the end of the semicircle is 27.14 cm - 25.0 cm = 2.14 cm
ii. Is this distance large enough to be easily observed?
This distance of 2.14 cm easily detectable since it is in the centimeter range.

The percent composition of this compound :
Mg = 72.182%
N = 27.818%
Further explanationGiven
9.03 g Mg
3.48 g N
Required
The percent composition
Solution
Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements
Total mass of the compound :
= 9.03 g + 3.48 g
= 12.51 g
The percent composition :
Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%
N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
