The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them.
Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu
As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
33.6 moles are needed to completely react with 84.0 moles of O2
It provides evidence that each organism is related and similar in each way, leading to the conclusion of a common ancestor.<span />
