Rhenium has two naturally occurring isotopes, Re-185 (mass = 184.953 amu) and Re-187 (186.9558 amu). If a sample of rhenium is taken from a planet different from Earth, and is determined to be 62.60% Re-185, and 37.40% Re-187 (the reverse of the percentages found on Earth). What would a periodic table for this other planet show for the atomic mass of rhenium?
