It follows that whatever atomic mass is quoted on the Periodic Table, the most abundant isoptope of that element must make the greatest statistical contribution. Calcium has an atomic mass of
The idea here is that each isotope will contribute to the average of the element proportionally to their respective abundance. Now, the key to this problem lies in how you...
1 Answers 1 viewsTo find the average ($"A"_r$) of an element, given the percentage rarities of its , simply multiply each isotope's $"A"_r$ by its percentage that is expressed as a decimal...
1 Answers 1 viewsMultiply the atomic mass of each isotope times its percent abundance in decimal form. Add them together. $"Average atomic mass of Br"$$=$$(78.92xx0.5069)+(80.92xx0.49331)="79.92 u"$
1 Answers 1 viewsThe mass of Argon on is 39.948. The periodic table's is the AVERAGE weight of ALL its . If one isotope is MORE abundant than the others, the average will...
1 Answers 1 views$M_r=(sum(M_ia))/a$, where: $M_r$ = relative attomic mass ($g$ $mol^-1$) $M_i$ = mass of each isotope ($g$ $mol^-1$) $a$ = abundance, either given as a percent or amount of $g$...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe relative of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass...
1 Answers 1 viewsSo, $10.600 (mass$ $units) = 70%xx10.000 + 30%xxM_2;$ where $M_2$ is the isoptopic mass of the other isotope. So solve for $M_2$! A priori would you expect $M_2$ to...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe $"Average Atomic Mass"$ of an element is defined as "the weighted average mass of all naturally-occurring (occasionally radioactive) of the element." (and hence the name "average") [1] Dividing the...
1 Answers 1 viewsLet the percentage of the isotope $""^71Ga$ be $=x%$ Then, The percentage of the isotope $""^69Ga$ is $=(100-x)%$ We write the mass balance equation $100*69.72=x*71+(100-x)*69$ $6972=71x+6900-69x$ $2x=6972-6900=72$ $x=36$ Therefore, The...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe average mass is simply the weighted average: $(34.968852xx75.77%+36.965903xx24.23%)*"amu"$ $=$ $35.4527*"amu"$
