Answer:
To find the mass percent of hydrogen in hydrogen chloride, we must divide the weight of the hydrogen atom alone by the weight of the entire molecule. Then we multiply by 100% to find the percentage. Thus, 2.77% of the mass of hydrogen chloride is hydrogen.

Answer: The average atomic mass of the element = 88.242amu
Explanation:
The abundance of the first isotope is =35.5%
Atomic mass of first isotope = 68.9257
The average atomic mass of the first isotope =86.95amu X 35.5% =86.95amu X 0.355 =30.8725 amu
The abundance of the second isotope =64.5%
Atomic mass of the second isotope =88.95amu
The average atomic mass of second isotope =88.95amu x 64.5% = 88.95amu x 0.645= 57.37275 amu
Now the average atomic mass =30.8725 +57.37275 = 88.242amu
OR using the formulae
Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100
{(86.95amu X 35.5 )+(88.95amu x 64.5)}/100
8,824/100
=88.24amu
