Question

An element has three isotopes. The masses and % abundances for the isotopes are: Isotope #1 mass 38.96 amu, % abundance=93.26%, Isotope #2 mass

39.96 amu, % abundance 0.012 %, and Isotope #3 mass= 40.96 amu, % abundance=6.73 %. The average atomic mass for this element has to be

Answer 1

39.095

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because all this isotopes belong to a single element thus

(38.96×93.26)+(39.96×0.012)+(40.96×6.73)

answer of that divided by 100%
