<u>Answer:</u> The mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
Let the mass of isotope 2 of indium be 'x'
- <u>For isotope 1:</u>
Mass of isotope 1 = 112.904 amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 4.28 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.0428
- <u>For isotope 2:</u>
Mass of isotope 2 = x amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = [100 - 4.28] = 95.72 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.9572
Average atomic mass of indium = 114.818 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu
