The average atomic mass of a sample of an element is 35.5u . what are the percentage of isotopes Ag17 35 in the sample.
Let the percentage of 17X35 = x
Percentage of 17X37 = 100 – x
Average atomic weight = 35.5u.
Therefore 35.5 =
On solving the equation, x = 75%
Therefore 17X35 = 75 %
And 17X37 = 100 – 75 = 25%
