Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.

For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances

Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%

Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %

Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =

                                             = 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu

Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene
frez [133]
  • The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 g/mol.

This means the molar mass of CH is

12.011+1.00794=13.01894 \text{ g/mol}

Dividing the given molar mass by this,\frac{104.1}{13.01894} \approx 8

This means the molecular formula is \boxed{\text{C}_{8}\text{H}_{8}}
