1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.
You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.
2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.
This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:
=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 * atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.
3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x
=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278
=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x
=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546
=> 1.9982x = 1.3818
=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%
=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%
Answer:
Cu-63 69.15%;
Cu-65 : 30.85%
Magnesium would be more reactive.
<span>Galvanized steel is preferred for outdoor uses because it is ideal to prevent rotting/corrosion
A steel will rot more quickly if it's exposed to a larger amount of oxygen and H2O , which will exist if we put it oudoor
Coating the steel with additional zinc will slow down the process</span>
