If there are two an element

$"Average atomic mass" = "mass"_axx "fract"_a + "mass"_b xx "fract"_b$
In the given problem about Hafnium, 5 isotopes have been given.
Extending the above expression to 5 isotopes
We obtain

$"Average atomic mass " = 176xx 0.05 + 177 xx0.19+ $
$178xx 0.27 + 179 xx0.14+180xx 0.35$

$=178.55$

(Ensure that sum of all fractions adds to 1.

It is easy to find the fraction of each isotope in the question as total number is given as 100 atoms. Number of each isotope divided by 100)

Always use average atomic masses for mass calculations involving or .

One isotope of bromine has an atomic mass of 78.92 amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%. The other major isotope of has an atomic mass of 80.92 amu and a relative abundance of 49.31%? What is the average atomic mass of bromine?

Multiply 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"$

An average sample of chlorine contains 75.77% chlorine-35, with an atomic mass of 34.969 amu (atomic mass units), and 24.23% chlorine-37, with an atomic mass of 36.966 amu. What is the average atomic mass of chlorine?

The 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...

How do you calculate the average atomic mass of carbon if 98.90% of the atoms are C-12 (12.000000 and 1.100% are C-13 atoms (13.003354 amu)?

Average of carbon $= (0.989*12)+(0.011*13.003354) = 12.011036894$

A fictitious element that has two isotopes has an average atomic mass of 117.3. If 65.43% of the atoms of the element have an atomic mass of 119.8, what is the atomic mass of the other isotope?

The 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 $chi$.... $chi=(117.3-0.6543xx119.8)/(0.3457)=112.6*"amu"$

Which option contains a $2*g$ mass of sodium atoms.... $1.$ $5.24xx10^22*"sodium atoms?"$ $2.$ $6.022xx10^24*"sodium atoms?"$ $3.$ $3.12xx10^23*"sodium atoms?"$ $4.$ $5.24xx10^22*"sodium atoms?"$

We know that $1*mol$ contains $6.022xx10^23$ individual sodium atoms, and has a mass of $22.99*g$. And thus for $1.$ there is a $2*g$ mass of $Na$. For $2.$ there is...
