Step 1
1 of 3In this exercise, we need to calculate the abundance of each isotope of gallium. The average atomic mass is 69.72 amu. The mass of one isotope is 68.926 amu and the mass of the other isotope is 70.925 amu.
Step 1
1 of 369.72=(68.926)(x)+(70.925)(1-x)
Percentages are always out of 100, so by finding the abundance of 69Ga, we know that 71Ga will be 100-that value.
