Element X has 2 isotopes 38.56 amu with 33.3 % and 40.10 amu with 66.7% What is the average atomic mass of element X?



Answer :

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of element X is 14.007 น.

The average atomic mass of X is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,

0.996 36 × 14.003 u =13.952 03 u

0.003 64 × 15.000 u = 0.054 60 น

TOTAL = 14.007
