Question

Calculate the average atomic mass of byzanium (Bz), afictional element, if it has three isotopes with the followingexact masses and percent abundances.                      Isotopes    Masses        Abundance                       Bz-45       44.99 amu     15.0%                      Bz-47        46.99amu     60.0%                      Bz-48        48.00amu     25.0% Calculate the average atomic mass of byzanium (Bz), afictional element, if it has three isotopes with the followingexact masses and percent abundances.                      Isotopes    Masses        Abundance                       Bz-45       44.99 amu     15.0%                      Bz-47        46.99amu     60.0%                      Bz-48        48.00amu     25.0%                       Bz-45       44.99 amu     15.0%                      Bz-47        46.99amu     60.0%                      Bz-48        48.00amu     25.0%

Explanation / Answer

we know that average atomic mass = (mass of each component *abundance percentage)/total abundance this gives average atomic mass of byzanium (Bz) = (44.99* 15 + 46.99*60 +48*25)/100                                                           =46.9425 amu (ans)
