Answer: Sol:-
Data provided in the question is :-
Atomic mass of isotope -1 = 64 amu
Atomic mass of isotope -2 = 66 amu
Atomic mass of isotope -3 = 67 amu
Atomic mass of isotope -4 = 68 amu
Atomic mass of isotope - 5 = 70 amu
Percentage abundace of isotope - 1 = 48.89 %
Percentage abundance of isotope -2 = 27.81 %
Percentage abundance of isotope - 3 = 4.11%
Percentage abundance of isotope-4 = 18.57%
Percentage abundance of isotope - 5 = 0.62 %
Formula used :-
Average atomic mass of an element =[ {(atomic mass of isotope-1 * percentage abundance of isotope-1) + ( atomic mass of isotope-2 * percentage abundance of isotope -2) + ( atomic mass of isotope -3 * percantege abundance of isotope-3 ) + ( atomic mass of isotope-4 * percentage abundance of isotope-4) + (atomic mass of isotope-5 * percentage abundance of isotope-5)} / 100]
Calculation :-
Put all the value in the formula :-
Average atomic mass of an element = [{(64 * 48.89) + (66 * 27.81) + (67 * 4.11) + (68 * 18.57) + (70 * 0.62)} / 100] amu
= [{(3128.96) + (1835.46) +(257.37) + (1262.76) + (43.4)} / 100] amu
= {(6528.04) / 100} amu
= 65.2804 amu
Average atomic mass of an element is = 65.2804 amu
Then this mass is approximatly equal to atomic mass of zinc so this element would be zinc
atomic mass of zinc = 65.38 \approx 65.2804 amu
