- Calculating Atomic Mass Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses 23.99,24.99,and25.98amu and natural abundances 78.99,10.00,and11.01%. Calculate the atomic mass of magnesium.arrow_forwardAverage atomic masses listed by JUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9 183 and 80.9 163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.3 1%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.arrow_forwardThe CRC Handbook, a large reference book of chemical and physical data, lists two isotopes of rubidium (Z=37). The atomic mass of 72.15 of rubidium atoms is 84.9118u. Through a typographical oversight, the atomic mass of the second isotope is not printed. Calculate that atomic mass.arrow_forward
