(10 points) Only two isotopes of copper occur naturally. 63Cu (mass = 62.9296amu: abundance
69.17%) and 65Cu (mass = 64.9278, abundance 30.83%). Calculate the atomic weight
(average atomic mass) of copper.
This is a homework problem.
- weighted average
wt . average = (64.9278amu • (30.83 / 100)) + (62.9296amu • (69.17 / 100))
= 63.55amu
