I abundance of each isotope (expressed as a percentagel? I the average atomic mas of stheria 107,87 am tt Hint: Let xbe the natural abundance of one of the isotopes. Then 1-xis the natural abundance of the other 1st attempt Part 1 (0.5 point) see Periodic Table &See; Hint Natural abundance ot 17Ag Part 2 (0.5 point) Natural abundance of 10Ag 3Explanation / Answer
x = abundance of Ag
average atomic mass = atmic mass *x + atomic mass (1-x)
107.87 = 106.9*x + 108.9*(1-x)
x = 0.515
1-x = 1-0.515 = 0.485
abundance of Ag107 = 51.5%
abundance of Ag109 = 48.5%
