Europium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Eu-151 with a mass of 150.9198 amu and a natural abundance of 47.8%, and Eu-153. Use the atomic mass of europium to find the mass and natural abundance of Eu-153.

ANSWER:

 

Step 1 of 3

The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of all the natural atoms available in the element.

\(\text{Atomic mass } =[( \text{ fraction of isotope -1} ) \times( \text{ mass of isotope -1} )+( \text{ fraction of isotope-}2) \times( \text{ mass of isotope -2} )]\)
