Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different masses. The relative atomic mass (am) is a weighted average that takes into account the abundance of each isotope. We can calculate the relative atomic mass using the following expression.
where,
- abi: percent abundance of each isotope
For Gallium,
[1]
where "x" and "y" are the unknown abundances.
We also know that the sum of both abundances must be 100%.
x + y = 100
y = 100 - x [2]
If we replace [2] in [1], we get
Then, in [2]
y = 100 - x = 100 - 20.5 = 79.5
In conclusion, Ga-69 has an abundance of 20.5% and Ga-71 has an abundance of 79.5%.

Answer & Explanation:
The law of multiple proportion states that two elements A and B can react with each other to form multiple compounds while one of the two elements remain fixed.
For Example
Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form:
Water (H2O)
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
An isotope is the vary of neutrons in an element, causing its atomic mass to change. While an ion is a charged atom that bonds to be stable.
A. making an observation.
Explanation:
When scientists use one of their five sense to gather information, they are simply making an observation.
Most physical properties of matter are studied using sense of taste, of feel, sight, hearing and smell.
- Observation is the act of making a measurement or studying.
- It helps to investigate particular phenomenon in nature.
- Most observations made with our senses are usually qualitative in nature.
- They cannot be assigned values like quantitative ones.
