Question

50 atoms, 15 were isotope A, 30 were isotope B, and 5 were isotope C, which isotope would be the most abundant?

Answer 1

The most abundant isotope among the given Isotopes will be Isotope B

How to calculate percentage abundance of isotopes ?

To calculate the percent abundance of each isotope in a sample of an element, we usually divide the number of atoms of a particular isotope by the total number of atoms of all isotopes of that element and then multiply the result by 100.

• For  Isotope A ;

% Abundance =  15/50 x 100

                        =  30 %

• For  Isotope B ;

% Abundance =  30/50 x 100

                        =  60 %

• For  Isotope A ;

% Abundance =  5/50 x 100

                        =  10 %

Hence, The most abundant isotope among the given Isotopes will be Isotope B.
