<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.
Required
The average atomic mass
Solution
The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%
Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128
Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84
Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu
