Question

The element copper has naturally occurring isotopes with mass numbers of 63 and 65. The relative abundance and atomic masses are 69.2% for a mass of 62.93 amu and 30.8% for a mass of 64.93amu. Calculate the average atomic mass of copper.

Answer 1

Answer:

63.546

Explanation:

The Average atomic mass is calculated using the formula:

sum of the product of the atomic masses and their relative abundances all divided by 100 or total abundance
