Question

CALCULATE: you need to type/show your work. There is no credit if the work is not show/typed Titanium has five common isotopes: 46Ti (8.00%), mass= 45.953 amu 47 Ti (7.80%), mass= 46.952 amu 48Ti (73.40%), mass= 47.947 amu 49Ti (5.50%), mass= 48.948 amu 50Ti (5.30%), mass = 49.945 amu Calculate the average atomic mass of titanium.

Answer 1

47.871 amu

Step-by-step explanation:

Average atomic mass of an atom is obtained from the sum of the mass of the isotopes multiplicated by its natural abundance.

That means atomic mass of Ti is:

Ti = 45.953*8.00% + 46.952*7.80% + 47.947*73.40% + 48.948*5.50% + 49.945*5.30%

Average atomic mass of Ti:

47.871 amu
