Question

There are five naturally abundant isotopes of elemental nickel are 58Ni, 60Ni, 61Ni, 62Ni and 64Ni.  Based on   these five isotopes, calculate the average atomic mass for elemental nickel given the following isotope masses and percent abundances. 

Isotope                 Isotopic mass                                   Percent abundance

      58Ni                    57.9353 amu                                     68.08

      60Ni                    59.9308 amu                                     26.22

      61Ni                    60.9311 amu                                     1.14

      62Ni                    61.9283 amu                                     3.63

      64Ni                    63.9280 amu                                     0.93
