Gallium can exist as two stable isotopes: Ga-69 and Ga-71.
60.1% of gallium atoms are Ga-69 atoms, and the rest are Ga-71 atoms.
Calculate the relative atomic mass of gallium. (3)
% isotopic abundance of Ga-71 = 100 - 60.1 = 39.9
relative atomic mass = (69 Ă— 60.1) + (71 Ă— 399) Ă· 100
= (4146.9 + 2832.9) Ă· 100 = 69.8
3 marks for correct answer
otherwise 1 mark for working out % abundance of Ga-71
1 mark for corredly substituting in values for abundances and atomic masses)
