Explanation:
List the known and unknown quantities and plan the problem. Change each percent abundance into decimal form by dividing by 100. Multiply this value by the atomic mass of that isotope. Add together for each isotope to get the average atomic mass.
Answer:
The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016
Explanation:
Given data:
Average Atomic mass of lithium = 6.941 amu
Atomic mass of first isotope = 6.015 amu
Relative abundance of first isotope = 7.49%
Abundance of second isotope = ?
Atomic mass of other isotope = ?
Solution:
Total abundance = 100%
100 - 7.49 = 92.51%
percentage abundance of second isotope = 92.51%
Now we will calculate the mass if second isotope.
Average atomic mass of lithium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
6.941 = (6.015×7.49)+(x×92.51) /100
6.941 = 45.05235 + (x92.51) / 100
6.941×100 = 45.05235 + (x92.51)
694.1 - 45.05235 = (x92.51)
649.04765 = x 92.51
x = 485.583 /92.51
x = 7.016
The atomic mass of second isotope is 7.016
