Average Atomic Mass Problems

Average Atomic Mass Problems

<p>Name______Graded Work#____ Atoms Worksheet #1 Average Atomic Mass Problems Average atomic mass: the weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of that element. A weighted average reflects both the mass and the abundance of the isotopes as they occur in nature. Isotope Atomic mass abundance (%) H-1 1.0078amu 99.985% H-2 2.0141amu 0.015% H-3 3.0160amu negligible</p><p>The average atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.0079amu. Multiply each atomic mass by the percent abundance and add them up. (1.0078amu)(.99985) + (2.0141amu)(0.00015) = 1.0079amu Fill in the missing information. Calculate the average atomic mass of each element (show work). 1.

Element Z has 2 natural isotopes. One isotope has a of 15.0amu and has a relative abundance of 30%. The other isotope has a mass of 16.0amu and has a relative abundance of 70%. Estimate the average atomic mass for this element to one decimal place.</p><p>10. Three isotopes of argon occur in nature – Ar-36, Ar-38, Ar-40. Calculate the average atomic mass of argon to two decimal places, given the following relative atomic masses and abundances of each of the isotopes: Ar- 36 (35.97amu; 0.337%), Ar-38 (37.96amu; 0.063%), and Ar-40 (39.96amu; 99.600%).</p><p>11. Naturally occurring boron is 80.20% boron-11 (atomic mass = 11.01amu) and 19.80% of some other isotopic form of boron. What must the atomic mass of this second isotope be in order to account for the 10.81amu average atomic mass of boron? (Write the answer to two decimal places.)</p>
