Sulfur has four isotopes and has an atomic mass of 32.066 amu. The four isotopes have the following atomic masses: S-32, 31.972071 amu; S-33, 32.971458 amu; S-34, 33.967867 amu; and S-36, 35.967081 amu. The last two have natural abundances of 4.29% and 0.02%, respectively. Calculate the natural abundance of S-32.

Bromine has two stable isotopes: 79Br and 81Br with masses of 78.9183371 amu and 80.9162906 amu. If the average atomic mass for Bromine on Earth is 79.904 amu, what is the mass of 79Br in a 10.0 g sample? Hint: Set the abundance of the 79Br isotope equal to x. Then the abundance of the other isotope will equal 1−x. Your answer should have three significant figures, so round to the nearest hundredth.
