= 24.3
The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.790 × 24 u = 18.96 u
0.100 × 25 u = 2.50 u
0.110 × 26 u = <u>2.86 u</u>
TOTAL = 24.3 u
∴ The relative atomic mass of X is 24.3.
Answer: (3) ppm
Explanation: Concentration is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or a solution.
Parts per million (ppm) is used to express the concentration when a very small quantity of solute is present in a large quantity of the solution. It is defined as the mass of solute present in one milion parts by mass of the solution.
L/s is used to express flow rate.
J/g is used to express energy per unit mass.
kPa is used to express pressure.
