Worksheet #3: Isotopes

Percent abundance
1. The mass of element X has a 78.99% abundance for isotope 23.9850, 10.00% for isotope
24.9858, and 11.01% for isotope 25.9826 . What is the atomic mass of the element? What
element is it?

DO NOWCHECK ANSWERS IN PACKET

2. An element is a mixture of two isotopes. One isotope of the element has an atomic mass
of 34.96885 and has an abundance of 75.53%. The other isotope has an atomic mass of
36.96590. Calculate the average atomic mass and identify the element.

3.

An element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973, 24.10% of an isotope with
mass 205.9745, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9750, and 52.40% of an isotope with
mass 207.9766. Calculate the average atomic mass and identify the element.

Lab: BEANIUM
Terminology:
Define ELEMENT-

Define ISOTOPE-

Lab:
Researchers have identified a new element, beanium. All atoms of the element beanium are very large.
Therefore, sorting the isotopes of this element should be accomplished with very little difficulty.
Obtain a container of beanium atoms. The difference between the isotopes of this element can be easily see.
Each different type of bean represents a different isotope.

Problems: Average Atomic Mass

What is the atomic mass of silicon if 92.21% of its atoms have a mass of 27.977 u, 4.70% have mass 28.976 u
and 3.09% have mass 29.974 u?

Find the average atomic mass of silver if 51.83% of the silver atoms occurring in nature have mass 106.905 u
and 48.17% of the atoms have mass 108.905 u.
