Part-D: Calculate the isotopic mass

1. Copper has two isotopes Cu-63 and Cu-65. The atomic mass of Cu-63 is 62.9296 and its percentage
abundance is 69.17. The average atomic mass of Cu is 63.546, calculate the percentage abundance
and isotopic mass of Cu-65.
Percentage abundance of Cu-65 = 100 - 69.17 = 30.83
62.9296 𝑥 69.17+30.83 𝑋
63.546 = 100

6354.6 = 4352. 8 + 30.83X


6354.6−4352.8
X= 30.83
= 64.930

Percentage abundance of Cu-65 is: 30.83

Atomic mass of Cu-65 is: 64.930 amu.

2. Argon has four isotopes Ar-36, Ar-38 and Ar-40. The atomic mass of Ar-36 is 35.968 and its
percentage abundance is 0.337; Ar-38 has an atomic mass of 37.963 and its percentage abundance
is 0.063. The relative atomic mass of argon is 39.948. Calculate the percentage abundance and
atomic mass of Ar-40.
Percentage abundance of Ar-40 = 100 – (0.337+ 0.063) = 99.6
35.968 𝑥 0.337+37.963 𝑥 0.063+99.6𝑋
39.948 =
100

3994.8 = 12.1212 + 2.3917 + 99.6X


3994.8−(12.1212+2.3917)
X= 99.6
= 39.963

Percentage abundance of Ar-40 is: 99.6

Atomic mass of Ar-40 is 39.963 amu.
