If the abundance of 234u is 0. 01%, the abundance of 235u is 0. 71%, and the abundance of 238u is 99. 28%, what is the average atomic mass of uranium?.

Respuesta :

The Average atomic mass of the Uranium is 237.97 amu if the abundance of 234u is 0.01%, 235u is 0.71% and 238u is 99.28% .

The atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The atomic mass of an isotope  refers to a certain specific isotope of an element. The average atomic mass is the summation of the masses of the element's isotopes each multiplied by its natural abundance on Earth.

Uranium is a chemical element with the atomic number 92. It contains 3 isotopes. There are three naturally occurring isotopes of uranium: uranium-238, the heaviest and most abundant, uranium-235 and uranium-234. The abundance of 234u is 0.01% , the abundance of 235u is 0.71% and the abundance of 238u is 99.28%. we have to add all the atomic mass of the the elements to get the average mass.

Average atomic mass= (0.01 / 100) (234 amu) + (0.71 / 100)(235 amu) + (99.28 / 100) (238 amu)

  = 237.97 amu

The average atomic mass  is 237.97 amu
