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

-2x = 5420 - 5600
x = 180 / 2
x = 90
