Ahypothetical element has two main isotopes with mass numbers of 62 and 65. if 66.00% of the isotopes have a mass number of 62 amu, what atomic weight should be listed on the periodic table for this element? answer in units of amu.

Answer is 63.04amu.

Explanation: We are given in the question that an element has two main isotopes 1 and 2.

Mass Number of isotope 1 = 62 amu

Mass Number of 2 isotope = 65 amu

% abundance of isotope 1 = 66%

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.66

Total fractional abundance = 1

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = (1-0.66)

                                                          = 0.34

For calculating he atomic mass of element, we use

We have only 2 isotopes for an element, so the formula stops at isotope 2 only.

By putting the values in the above equation, we get

Atomic mass of element = 63.04amu

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
