Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
sleet_krkn [62]
4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s)    This is the balanced.
From the equation:

 4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
 
3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3  (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce  3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer.  6 mol of Al.
