Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 2.158QP

The element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: ¹⁵¹Eu has a mass of 150.9196 amu, and ¹⁵³Eu has a mass of 152.9209 amu. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 amu.

a. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes.
b. Graph each fractional abundance value as a y-axis value in association with its corresponding mass value on the x-axis. Starting from each x-axis value, where y = 0, draw a vertical line up to the fractional abundance value. The result will approximate the type of visual graph a mass spectrometer would yield for europium in the 150–155 amu range.
