EDEXCEL IGCSE CHEMISTRY: DOUBLE SCIENCE 復習筆記：1.3.2 Calculate Relative Atomic Mass

Calculate Relative Atomic Mass

The relative atomic mass of each element is calculated from the?mass number?and?relative abundances?of all the isotopes of a particular element
The steps below are to calculate the relative atomic mass
Start by finding out the mass of 100 atoms, then divide the result by 100 to get the Ar

The top line of the equation can be extended to include the number of different isotopes of a particular element present, so, if there were 3 isotopes present then the top line of the equation would read:

Worked Example

The table shows information about the Isotopes in a sample of rubidium with 72%?⁸⁵Rb and 28%?⁸⁷Rb

1.1.9-Isotopes-of-rubidium_1

Use information from the table to calculate the relative atomic mass of this sample of Rubidium. Give your answer to one decimal place:

Answer

1.1.9-RAM-WE

Relative Atomic Mass = 85.6

Exam Tip

Isotopes are easy to recognize from their notation as they have the same symbol but different mass numbers. For example, the two stable isotopes of copper are?⁶³Cu and?⁶⁵Cu
