what is the average atomic mass, in amu, of a large sample of palomarium? (reminder: atomic masses of each isotope and their percent abundances are given in the student handout)

Respuesta :

Palomarium- 46:46.00159 amu

Palomarium- 48:47.98621

Let

46Palomarium = 46.00159 = x%

48Palomarium = 47.98621 = 1-x%

⇒ 46.9939 = (46.00159)x + (47.98621) (1-x)

⇒ 46.9939 = -1.98462x + 47.98621

⇒-0.99231 = -1.98462x

⇒ x = 0.50 = 5.%

and 1-x = 1-0.50 = 50%

avg atomic mass = 46.00159 (0.5) + (47.98621) (0.5)

= 46.9939 amu
