<u>Answer:</u> The atomic weight of the second isotope is 64.81 amu.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of atomic masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
We are given:
Let the mass of isotope 2 be 'x'
Mass of isotope 1 = 62.9 amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 69.1 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.691
Mass of isotope 2 = 'x'
Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 30.9%
Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.309
Average atomic mass of copper = 63.5 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the atomic weight of second isotope will be 64.81 amu.
