kyiolsotopes and Average Atomic Mass

. Calculate from experimental data the weighted average mass
(average atomic mass) of an imaginary element called Penguinium.
Pe
Penguinum
7.7777
ntroduction:
Oopes are atoms of the same atomic number (same element) having different masses due to different num
neutrons. The average atomic mass of an elemert is the weighted average of the masses of the isatape
lement The weighted average takes inte acceunt beth the mass and rektve abundance of each sateg
Ccurs in nature.
Purpose:
n this experimer, you will perfarm the necenary cakulatioms to determine the average atomic mass of th
ictitious elemert Penguinm The three different hatopes of Penguinium are colared red, white and
bur job will be to abtain a sample of Penguinm and determine the mam of each isotope and the relative
bundogeance of each isotope. Fram this data, you will cakulate the weighed average mas, or ama
Penguinium ***Unlike real sotopes, each isotope of Penguinum differs slightly in mas. For
he red bears weigh exactly the same (f these were real natopes they would So you will determine the
mass of each type of isotope (Table 1), and well pretend that all of each satope weighs exactly shat thea
s. Then you can cakulate the weighad average mas(a ka average atomk mas) of Penginkm 1
Experimental Procedure:
L Find the mass of all of the red saape'. Then the white 'saope', and then vellow 'isotope
2 Cat the mal number of partickes of each isotope
1 *Divde the oul mass by the # of particles far each saope to gt the average (mean) mass
satape
4 Find the abundance of each isotope by dadng he # of particles of each isotope e the
part icles, and then mdiply by 100 to find the % abudance.
