An element has five isotopes. Calculate the atomic mass of this element using the information below. Show all your work. Using the periodic table, identify the element this is likely to be and explain your choice. (18 pts) A) Isotope 1 – mass: 64 amu; percent abundance: 48.89%
B) Isotope 2 – mass: 66 amu; percent abundance: 27.81%
C) Isotope 3 – mass: 67 amu; percent abundance: 4.11%
D) Isotope 4 – mass: 68 amu; percent abundance: 18.57%
E) Isotope 5 – mass: 70 amu; percent abundance: 0.62%

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
