Answer :
The average atomic mass of her sample is 114.54 amu
Let the 1st isotope be A
Let the 2nd isotope be B
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Abundance of isotope A (A%) = 59.34%
- Mass of isotope A = 113.6459 amu
- Mass of isotope B = 115.8488 amu
- Abundance of isotope B (B%) = 100 – 59.34 = 40.66%
- Average atomic mass =?
The average atomic mass of the sample can be obtained as follow:
[tex]Average \: atomic \: mass \: = \frac{mass \: of \: A \times A\%}{100} + \frac{mass \: of \: B \times B\%}{100} \\ \\ Average \: atomic \: mass \: = \frac{113.6459\times 59.34}{100} + \frac{115.8488\times 40.66}{100} \\ \\ Average \: atomic \: mass \: = 114.54 \: amu \\ \\ [/tex]
Thus, the average atomic mass of the sample is 114.54 amu
