I would say Ni so yeah thats ur answer
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
