Question

The element rubidium has two naturally occurring isotopes. The atomic mass of 85 Rb (72.17 percent abundant) is 84.911794 amu. Determine the atomic mass of 87 Rb (27.83 percent abundant) the average atomic mass of Rb is 85.4678

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Given : There are two naturally occurring isotopes of element rubidium.

Abundance of isotope 1 i.e 85Rb = 72.17 %

Atomic mass of 85Rb = 84.911794 amu.

Abundance of isotope 1 i.e 87Rb = 27.83 %

And average atomic mass of Rb = 85.4678
