Answer:

The atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element. Average atomic mass takes into account the isotopic abundance.

Isotope of bromine with atomic mass 79 u = 49.7%

Therefore, Contribution of 35Br79 to atomic mass = (79 × 49.7)/100

⇒ 39.26 u

Isotope of bromine with atomic mass 81 u = 50.3%

Contribution of 35Br81 to the atomic mass of bromine = (81 × 50.3)/100

⇒ 40.64u

Hence, average atomic mass of the bromine atom = 39.26 + 40.64 u = 79.9u

Answer

The average atomic mass of the bromine atom = 79.9u

HOPE THIS HELPS U !! :)

Answer:

Lets say x% of Br - 81 exists.

Then 100 - x % of Br - 79 exists

Now, we can say:

80.006 = \frac{81x + 79(100-x)}{100}

8000.6 = 81x + 7900 - 79x

2x = 100.6

x = 50.3 %

100-x = 49.7%

Therefore Br-81 has 50.3% abundance while Br-79 has 49.7% abundance.
