Define the total percentage abundance.
The total percentage abundance of all isotopes of an element is .
Express the abundance of .
If the abundance of is , then the abundance of is the remaining percentage.
The expression for the abundance of is .
Part b
Write the formula for Relative Atomic Mass (RAM).
The Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) is calculated using the formula:
Substitute the given values into the formula.
Given:
RAM = 69.72
Mass of = 69
Mass of = 71
Abundance of =
Abundance of =Solve for .
Multiply both sides by 100:
Combine like terms:
Rearrange the equation to solve for :
The percentage abundance of the isotope is .
