III
Finding atomic mass from isotope mass and natural abundance
isotope
A robot spacecraft returned samples from the planetesimal 98765 ALEKS, located in the outer Solar System. Mass-spectroscopic analysis produced the following
data on the isotopes of ruthenium in these samples:
99.
Ru
96 Ru
mass relative
(amu) abundance
98.9
Ru
95.9
Explanation
59.%
41.%
Caution: your correct answer will have the same format but not necessarily the same numbers as the entry for ruthenium in the P
Earth.
Use these measurements to complete the entry for ruthenium in the Periodic Table that would be used on 98765 ALEKS. Be sure your answers have the correct
number of significant digits.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Interpretation

Answer:

To solve this question we need to find the mass number of Ru and for that we need its average atomic mass and to calculate average atomic mass relative abundance data along with atomic masses of both the isotopes is given to us.
