The abundance of
Assume you have 100 000 atoms of O. Then you have 37 atoms of
Let x = the number of atoms of
The total mass of 100 000 atoms is
x × 15.995 u + (99 963 – x) × 17.999 u + 37 × 16.999 u = 100 000 × 15.9994 u
15.995 x + 1 799 234.037 – 17.999 x + 628.963 = 1 599 940
2.004 x = 199 123
x = 199 123/2.004 = 99 762
So there are 99 762 atoms of
The number of
Hope this helps.
