Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter c (96%)

Explanation:

Indium -113 (112-9040580 amu) ₁₁₃In

Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu)  ₁₁₅In

Atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 amu ₁₁₄.₈₂In

Formula

Atomic mass = m₁(%₁) +m₂(%₂)  / 100

%₁ = x I established this is an equation

%₂ = 100 - x

Substituting values

114.82 = 112.8040x + 114.9039(100-x) /100    and know we expand and simplify

114.82 = 112.8040x + 11490.39 - 114.9039x  /100

11482 = 112.8040x -114.9039x +11490.39

11482 - 11490.39 = 112.8040x -114.9039x

-8.39 = -2.099x

x = 3.99

Then % of Indium-115 = 100 - 3.99 = 96

c)95.7%

Indium -113 (112-9040580 amu) ₁₁₃In

Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu)  ₁₁₅In

Atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 amu ₁₁₄.₈₂In

Formula to be used to calculate the percentage for isotopes will be:

Atomic mass = m₁(%₁) +m₂(%₂)  / 100

%₁ = x

%₂ = 100 - x

On substituting the values:

[tex]114.82 = \frac{112.8040x + 114.9039(100-x)}{100} \\\\ 114.82 = \frac{ 112.8040x + 11490.39 - 114.9039x }{100} \\\\ 114.82 = 112.8040x -114.9039x +11490.39\\\\ 114.82 - 11490.39 = 112.8040x -114.9039x\\\\ -8.39 = -2.099x\\\\ x = 3.99 [/tex]

Thus, % of Indium-115 = 100 - 3.99 = 96%.

Therefore, the correct option is c.
