A certain element consists of two stable isotopes. The first has a mass of 62.9 amu and a percent natural abundance of 69.1 %. The second has a mass of 64.9 amu and a percent natural abundance of 30.9 %. What is the atomic weight of the element?

63.518

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of Isotope A = 62.9 amu

Abundance of isotope A (A%) = 69.1%

Mass of isotope B = 64.9 amu

Abundance of isotope B (B%) = 30.9%

Atomic weight of the element =..?

The atomic weight of the element can be obtained as follow:

Atomic weight = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%) /100]

Atomic weight = [(62.9 x 69.1)/100] + [(64.9 x 30.9)/100]

Atomic weight = 43.4639 + 20.0541

Atomic weight = 63.518

Therefore, the atomic weight of the element is 63.518.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
