The 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 of carbon.
In fact, the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.
The abundance of $""_8^16"O"$ is 99.762 %, and the abundance of $""_8^18"O"$ is 0.201 %. Assume you have 100 000 atoms of O. Then you have 37 atoms of $""_8^17"O"$...

1 Answers 1 viewsThe weighted average is the sum of each individual nuclide, multiplied by its isotopic abundance. So, we simply do the arithmetic: $0.7577xx34.969+0.2423xx36.966 = ???$ amu Then look at to...

1 Answers 1 viewsThe weighted average of the is equal to $117.3*"amu"$. And thus.........with units of $"amu"$ $[65.43%xx119.8+34.57%xxchi] =117.3$ Where $chi-="mass of the other isotope"$.... And so we solve for $chi$.... $chi=(117.3-0.6543xx119.8)/(0.3457)=112.6*"amu"$
