Answer:
63. 55 amu
Explanation:
Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.
Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.
Similarly,
Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%
Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:
Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu
Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu
