A silver sample contains 52 atoms each having 60 neutrons and 48 atoms each having 62 neutrons What is the sample's average atomic mass?
The total mass of all the silver atoms would be 10,770,65(47+60) + 35(47+62) = 10,770 The total number of silver atoms is 100, 65 + 35 = 100 Dividing the total mass by the number of atoms gives us a 10770/100 = 107.7 for an atomic mass by these numbers.
