Zn-64 = 48.63%
Zn-66 = 27.90%
Zn-67 = 4.10%
Zn-68 = 18.75%
Zn-70 = .62%
Calculate the average atomic mass/given their percent abundance

Sagot :

Answer:

A = 65.46 u

Explanation:

Given that,

The composition of zinc is as follows :

Zn-64 = 48.63%

Zn-66 = 27.90%

Zn-67 = 4.10%

Zn-68 = 18.75%

Zn-70 = .62%

We need to find the  average atomic mass of the given element. It can be solved as follows :

[tex]A=\dfrac{48.63\times 64+27.90\times 66+4.1\times 67+18.75\times 68+0.62\times 70}{100}\\A=65.46\ u[/tex]

So, the average atomic mass of zinc is 65.46 u.
