There are three stable isotopes of magnesium: 24Mg, 25Mg, and 26Mg. The fractional abundances of the isotopes are 0.79, 0.10, and 0.11, respectively. Calculate the gram atomic mass of magnesium.

Hello, to find the answer in this question, I am assuming it is trying to ask for the atomic mass

Usually we have the relative abundance in a percentage form, but it looks as if these have already been converted or divided by 100

So first what we do since we have the isotopes and their mass numbers, we multiply each of these with their given abundances.

(24 x 0.79) + (25 x 0.10) + (26 x 0.11)

= 24.32

The gram atomic mass of magnesium is 24.32 amu
