1. Element X has two naturally occurring isotopes. Its first isotope has a mass of 28.0 amu
and a natural abundance of 64.24%. Its second isotope has a mass of 25.0 amu.
What is the atomic mass of element X?

Respuesta :

The atomic mass of element X is 26.9 amu.

Formula for Atomic mass

[tex]Atomic mass=\frac{mass of first isotope\times natural abundance+mass of secondisotope\times natural abundance}{100}[/tex]

m₁=mass of 1st isotope

P₁=%abundance of 1st isotope

m₂=mass of 2nd isotope

p₂=%abundance of 2nd istope

[tex]p_2=100-64.24=35.76[/tex]

Calculate atomic mass of element X as follows:-

[tex]atomic mass=\frac{28\times64.24+25\times35.76}{100} \\=26.9[/tex]

So, the atomic mass of element X is 26.9 amu.
