Answer:
the average atomic mass in amu of X is 25.39 amu
Explanation:
The computation of the average atomic mass in the amu of X is shown below:
Average mass is
= Product sum + atomic mass of each and every isotope
Now the average mass
= (80.5 ÷ 100 × 25 amu) + (19.5 ÷ 100 × 27 amu)
= 20.125 + 5.265
= 25.39 amu
Hence, the average atomic mass in amu of X is 25.39 amu
The average atomic mass of X is 25.39 amu.
Atomic mass
It is the quantity of matter present within an atom of an element.
Based on the given information,
• The unknown element X has the isotopes, 25X (80.5% abundant) and 27X (19.5% abundant).
Now the atomic mass of X can be calculated by using the formula,
[tex]=\frac{(M1*A1)+(M2*A2)}{A1+A2}[/tex]
Here, M1 and M2 are the atomic masses, and A1 and A2 are their abundances.
Now putting the values we get,
[tex]= \frac{(25*80.5)+(27*19.5)}{80.5+19.5} \\\\= \frac{2012.5+526.5}{100} \\= \frac{2539}{100} \\= 25.39 amu[/tex]
Thus, the average atomic mass of X is 25.39 amu.
