I have the five isotopes of zinc, each with its percent by mass abundance and the compostition of its nucleus. Now I need to calculate the approximate Atomic Mass of zinc as I would find it in nature and listed on the Periodic Table. How do I go about doing this? in the first isotope there are 30p and 34n and the percent mass abundance is 48.89% the second isotope is 30p and 36n and 27.81% third isotope is 30p and 37n 4.11% fourth isotope is 30p and 38n and 18.57% and the fifth isotope has 30p and 40n and 0.62%.

Any help anyone can provide I would greatly appreciate!

THANKS

Best Answer - Chosen by VotersFor each isotope calculate the mass number (# protons + # neutrons) for each atom. This is its approximate atomic mas. Then calculate the average mass for all the isotopes. Covert the percentages to decimals then multiply each mass number by the decimal of the abundance and add all the terms

(64 x 0.4889) + (mass # 2 + 0.2781) + (......) + (......) + ( .....)
