Name Period Date M&M Isotope Lab Introduction Isotopes are atoms of the same chemical element, each having a different mass number (different number of neutrons). Isotopes differ in mass number but never in atomic number (# of protons). Since we cannot see atoms, you will use M&M’s to represent atoms. The purpose of this lab is to calculate the average atomic mass using M&M’s, and to observe the difference between isotopes. 1. The mass number of the atom is the total number of & 2. Isotopes are different types of atoms of the same element, but with a different number of 3. Carbon-13 is an isotope of Carbon with a mass number of 13. How many neutrons are in Carbon-13? Refer to this picture of an atom’s nucleus to answer questions 4-9. 4. How many protons ? 5. What is the atomic #? 6. What element is this? 7. How many neutrons ? 8. What is the mass # ? 9. What is the isotope name? Procedure 1. Each group of 2 will get a sample of plain M&M’s and a sample of peanut M&M’s. 2. Count the number of Plain M&M’s in your bag and record this nu mber in the data table below. Repeat this step for the Peanut M&M’s. 3. Using a piece of clean paper towel as a weighing boat, measure the total mass of your plain M&M’s and record this number in the data table. Repeat this step for the Peanut M&M’s . *** REMEMBER to ZERO out the paper towel! DATA TABLE: Number of M&M’s Mass of M&M’s Isotope #1 - Plain M&M’s Isotope #2 - Peanut M&M’s Total Number of all your M&M’s
Calculate the average mass of each isotope using the formula to the right. 𝐴?????? ???? = 𝑇???𝑙 ???? # ?? ?&?′? Isotope #1 Plain M&M Isotope #2 Peanut M&M 10. Average mass of Isotope #1 = 11. Average mass of Isotope #2 = Calculate the percent abundance of each isotope. Of all the M&M’s you have, what % of them are plain and what % are peanut? % ????????? = # ?? ???ℎ ???? ?? ?&?

Is your average “atomic mass” close to or the same as students in other groups? 16. Would using king size bags of M&M ’s make a difference to the average “atomic mass”? Why or why not? 17. How do Hydrogen-1, Hydrogen-2, and Hydrogen-3 differ from each other? 18. Sulfur has 4 isotopes: sulfur-32 is 95.0%, sulfur-33 is 0.76%, sulfur-34 is 3.22%, and sulfur-36 is 0.89% abundant. Calculate its average atomic mass. Average Atomic Mass =
