An unknown element is found to have two naturally occurring isotopes, 200X and 210X with atomic masses of 200.028 and 210.039 respectively. If the percent abundance of 200X is 40.00%, what is the average atomic mass of X.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The average atomic mass of X is 206.0346

Explanation:

Atomic mass of 200X = 200.028

% abundance of 200X = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

Atomic mass of 210X = 210.039

% abundance of 210X = 100% - 40% = 60% = 60/100 = 0.6

Average atomic mass of X = (0.4×200.028) + (0.6×210.039) = 80.0112 + 126.0234 = 206.0346
