Calculating the Atomic Weight of an Element from Isotopic Abundances

Naturally occurring chlorine is 75.78% 35CI (atomic mass 34.969 amu) and 24.22% 37CI (atomic mass 36.966 amu). Calculate the atomic weight of chlorine.

Three isotopes of silicon occur in nature: 28Si (92.23%), atomic mass 27.97693 amu; 29Si (4.68%), atomic mass 28.97649 amu; and 30Si (3.09%), atomic mass 29.97377 amu.

Calculate the atomic weight of silicon.
