The average relative atomic mass of a sample containing 100 atoms of X, 70 were found to be 9X while 30 were 11X isotopes is 9.6g.

<h3>What is Atomic mass? </h3>

Atomic mass is defined as the whole mass of an atom.

It is also defined as the sum of atomic number and number of neutrons.

Atomic mass = Atomic number + neutrons

<h3>What is Isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are the those element which have same atomic number but have different mass number and number of neutrons.

The average relative atomic mass can be calculated as

mass of isotopes/ mass of sample

mass of all isotopes = (70 × 9X) + (30 × 11X)

=(630 + 330) X

= 960X

Average relative atomic mass = 960X/ 100 X

= 9.6 g

Thus, we concluded that the average relative atomic mass of a sample containing 100 atoms of X, 70 were found to be 9X while 30 were 11X isotopes is 9.6g.
