There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium: mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:
%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%
Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.
Thus, in this case:
Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)
From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.
Putting the values,
Thus,
Rearranging,
Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.
