QUESTION:

The average atomic mass of \({ }_{31}^{69} \mathrm{Ga}\) (68.9256 amu) and \({ }_{31}^{71} \mathrm{Ga}\) (70.9247 amu) is 69.72 amu. Calculate the natural abundances of the gallium isotopes.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Here we have to calculate the natural abundances of the gallium isotopes.

Given:

The average atomic mass of the isotopes of Gallium is given as,

 = 68.9256 amu

 = 70.9247 amu

Average atomic mass = 69.72 amu

Let us consider the natural abundance of  = X

Than the natural abundance of  must be = 1-X
