<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 62.94 amu
Percentage abundance of
= 69.17 %
Fractional abundance of
isotope = 0.6917
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 64.93 amu
Percentage abundance of
= 30.83 %
Fractional abundance of
isotope = 0.3083
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![\text{Average atomic mass of Copper}=[(62.94\times 0.6917)+(64.93\times 0.3083)]\\\\\text{Average atomic mass of copper}=63.55amu](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BAverage%20atomic%20mass%20of%20Copper%7D%3D%5B%2862.94%5Ctimes%200.6917%29%2B%2864.93%5Ctimes%200.3083%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BAverage%20atomic%20mass%20of%20copper%7D%3D63.55amu)
Hence, the average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.
