Copper occurs naturally as a mix of two isotopes: Copper-63 with a mass of 62.930 amu and copper-65 with a mass of 64.928 amu. The percent abundance of copper-63 is 69.09%. Calculate the atomic mass of copper.

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
