Answer:
19.2 u
Explanation:
Amu stands for unified atomic mass. This unit is mostly used to define the mass of atoms and molecules.
Now in order to determine the average atomic mass of an element with two isotopes, we would use the following formula
Average atomic mass = (Atmoic Mass of 1st isotope x its abundace) + (Atmoic Mass of 2nd isotope x its abundace)
Average atomic mass = (19 x 0.9) + (21 x 0.1)
Average atomic mass = (17.1) + (2.1)
Average atomic mass = 19.2 u
