Right Meshack, let's go.
Step 1: Identify the mass numbers and their percentage abundances from the graph.
• Isotope 1: Mass number = 204, Percentage abundance = 1.5%
• Isotope 2: Mass number = 206, Percentage abundance = 23.6%
• Isotope 3: Mass number = 207, Percentage abundance = 22.6%
• Isotope 4: Mass number = 208, Percentage abundance = 52.3%
Step 2: Use the formula for relative atomic mass.
The relative atomic mass is calculated as the sum of (isotope mass × fractional abundance) for all isotopes.
Relativeatomicmass=∑(isotopemass×100percentageabundance)
Step 3: Substitute the values and calculate.
Relativeatomicmass=(204×1001.5)+(206×10023.6)+(207×10022.6)+(208×10052.3)
Relativeatomicmass=(204×0.015)+(206×0.236)+(207×0.226)+(208×0.523)
Relativeatomicmass=3.06+48.596+46.782+108.784
Relativeatomicmass=207.222
The relative atomic mass of lead is 207.222.
207.222
