HEY MATE!!!

PLZZ SOLVE IT WITH STEP BY STEP EXPLAINATION

THE ATOMIC MASS OF AN ELEMENT 'X' IS 54.2 WHAT ARE THE PERCENTAGE OF OF ISOTOPES OF 'X' HAVING MASS NUMBERS 54 AND 56 IN GIVEN SAMPLE.

Atomic mass of element ' X' = 54.2 amu

Mass of 1st Isotope of ' X' = 54 amu

Mass of 2nd Isotope of ' X' = 56 amu

By using average atomic mass concept,

Let the percentage abundance of 1st isotope be x, then % Abundance of 2nd Isotope = 100 - x

The Average Atomic mass = 54.2

[ x ( 54 ) + ( 100 - x ) 56] / 100 = 54.2

54x + 5600 - 56x = 5420

-2x = 5420 - 5600

x = 180 / 2

x = 90

 <h3>% Abundance of 1st isotope = x = 90%

% Abundance of 2nd Isotope = ( 100 - 90 ) = 10%
