If an element has two isotopes, what is the atomic mass if one of the isotopes has a mass of 15.000 amu and makes up 5.000% of t

he mass of the element while the other isotope has a mass of 16.000 amu and make up the remaining 95.000 %?

The atomic mass of element is the weighted average atomic mass of the element with respect to the abundance of the isotopes of that element 
atomic mass is the sum of the products of the mass of isotopes by their percentage abundance 
atomic mass = 15.000 amu x 5.000 % + 16.000 amu x 95.000 % 
                     = 0.7500 + 15.200
atomic mass of element is therefore 15.950

Does data from mass spectrometry indicate that modern scientists have made modifications to Dalton''s model? Justify.
Gelneren [198K]
John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object. 
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons. 
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data  from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model. <span>
