Element Y has two naturally occurring isotopes. The most dominant isotope has a mass of 114.3789 amu and a percent abundance of 64.23%. What is the mass of the second isoptope if the average atomic mass is 128.4359 amu? Remember that the two percentages will have to sum to 100%.

153.6771 amu

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 114.3789 amu

Abundance (A%) = 64.23%

Isotope B:

Mass of B =.?

Abundance (B%) = 100 – A%

Abundance (B%) = 100 – 64.23

Abundance (B%) = 35.77%

average atomic mass of Element Y = 128.4359 amu

The mass of the 2nd isotope (i.e isotope B) can be obtained as follow:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]

128.4359 = [(114.3789 × 64.23)/100] + [(Mass of B × 35.77) /100]

128.4359 = 73.4656 + (Mass of B × 0.3577)

Collect like terms

128.4359 – 73.4656 = Mass of B × 0.3577

54.9703 = Mass of B × 0.3577

Divide both side by 0.3577

Mass of B = 54.9703 / 0.3577

Mass of B = 153.6771 amu

Therefore, the mass of the 2nd isotope is 153.6771 amu
