Chapter 02 Average Atomic Mass and Isotopes Worksheet

1. Gallium (Ga) consists of two naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 68.926 and 70.925 𝑎𝑚𝑢. The average atomic
mass of Ga is 69.72 𝑎𝑚𝑢. Calculate the abundance of each isotope.

2. Lithium can be combined with other metals (usually aluminum, cadmium, copper or manganese) to make airplane
parts. However, one of the most important uses of lithium is in the treatment of bipolar disorder and depression. Salts
of lithium (such as lithium carbonate and lithium citrate) are mood stabilizers. The two naturally occurring isotopes of
lithium are: 6𝐿𝑖 (6.015121 𝑎𝑚𝑢) and 7𝐿𝑖 (7.016003 𝑎𝑚𝑢). Determine the percent abundance of each isotope.

3. Silicon has three isotopes we find in nature; the masses of the isotopes are:
27.977 𝑎𝑚𝑢 (𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑠 28𝑆𝑖 ) ; 28.976 𝑎𝑚𝑢 (𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑎𝑠 29𝑆𝑖 ) ; 29.974 𝑎𝑚𝑢 (𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑠 30
𝑆𝑖 ).

If the heaviest isotope has an abundance of 3.100 %, calculate the abundances of the other isotopes if you know the
average atomic mass of silicon is 28.086 𝑎𝑚𝑢.
