The element X has three naturally occurring isotopes. The masses (amu) and % abundances of the isotopes are given in the table b
elow. The average atomic mass of the element is ________ amu.
1 answer:
Answer:
220.42098 amu
Explanation:
(220 .9 X .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) = 220.42098 amu
These are weighted averages.
So, we will take mass of one and multiply by abundance percentage that is provided and add them together.
In order to calculate the average atomic mass, we have to convert the percentages of abundance to decimals. So, you get
(220 .9 X .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) = 220.42098 amu
