The mass of the element is equal to the summation of the mass of the isotopes multiplied by the percent abundance of the isotope. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons but the number of protons  remains the same. Hence in this problem, the answer is 85.47 g/mol

Answer:

85.47 amu

Explanation:

the average atomic mass is calculated, with the atomic mass and the abundance of the element isotopes

To calculate the average atomic mass of Rb we do it with the following formula

m=\frac{(m_1.\%_1=m_2.\%_2)}{100}

m_1= 84.912 amu\\\%_1= 72.17\%\\m_2= 86.909 amu\\\%_2= 27.83\%

m=\frac{((84.912)(72.17))+((86.909)(27.83))}{100}\\m= 85.47 amu

What is the charge on an atom with 10 protons and 8 electrons?
maks197457 [2]
Hi,
The answer is +2, since there are 10 positive charges (protons) and 8 negative charges (electrons), so 10(+1) + 8(-1)= +10 -8= +2.

If my answer was not clear enough or you’d like further explanation please let me know.
Hope this helps!

What is an ion? Describe and give an example.
Goshia [24]
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.
