an element consists of two isotopes. one isotope has an atomic mass of 105.9041 amu and has a relative abundance of 71.82%. the other isotope has an atomic mass of 107.9047 amu and has a relative abundance of 28.18%. based on this, what is the atomic mass of the element?

Respuesta :

The element has an atomic mass of 106.4679.

The average mass of an element's atoms expressed in atomic mass units is the term for an element's atomic mass (AMU, also known as daltons, D). The atomic mass, which represents a weighted average of all the isotopes of that element, is calculated by multiplying the mass of each isotope by its abundance.

A weighted average of masses of all natural isotopes of an element by their abundance

= First isotope mass × Relative abundance + Second isotope mass × Relative abundance/100

= 105.9041 × 71.82 × 107.9047 × 28.18/100

The atomic mass of the element = 106.4679 ama
