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,
- mi: mass of each isotope
- 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%.
