Question

A factious element has 2 isotopes: 42.5% of the element has an atomic mass of 56.44amu and the rest has an atomic mass of 57.82amu. Calculate the final atomic mass of this factious element.

NOTE: Atomic mass = ∑ (fractional abundance times atomic mass of the isotope) and fractional isotope = % of isotope divided by 100.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Atomic mass of of one isotope(M1) =56.44

% Abundance (X1) = 42.5 %

Atomic mass of 2nd isotope(M2) = 57.82

%Abundance (X2) =100 - 42.5 = 57.5%
