Calculating Average Atomic Mass
Average atomic mass:
-The weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes for a
given element.
-This is NOT a mathematical average!
-This is the mass listed on the periodic table.
Percent (%) Abundances:
-the percentage of each isotope for a given element.
-the percent abundances of all the isotopes for a given element add up
to 100.
Relative Abundance:
-the percent abundance of an isotope divided by 100.
-the relative abundances of all the isotopes for a given element add up
to 1.
Relative Mass:
-the product of the relative abundance and the mass number for an
isotope of a given element.
**The Average Atomic Mass is the sum of all the relative masses for a
given element.** Do NOT divide your answer!!
Units on average atomic mass are amu (atomic mass units).
Round your final average atomic mass answer to 2 decimal places!

Ex) Iron has 4 naturally occurring isotopes. Iron’s composition breaks down
as follows:
5.845% Fe-54
91.754% Fe-56
2.119% Fe-57
0.282% Fe-58
1) Convert all the % abundances to relative abundances.
0.05845
.91754
.02119
0.00282
2) Multiply the relative abundance times the mass number to obtain
relative mass.
0.05845 x 54= 3.1563
.91754 x 56= 51.38224
.02119 x 57= 1.20783
0.00282 x 58= 0.16356
3) Add the relative masses together.
3.1563 + 51.38224 + 1.20783 + 0.16356= 55.90993
4) Round the answer to 2 decimal places.
55.91
5) Put units on your answer; amu.

Candium Lab
Purpose:
To analyze the isotopes of “candium” and to calculate its average atomic mass.
Materials:
sample of “candium”
balance
cups
Procedure: (record all your data & calculations in the data table!)
1) Obtain a sample of candium.
2) Separate the sample into its 3 isotopes (m&m’s, skittles, and Reese’s pieces).
3) Measure the total mass for each isotope; all the m&m’s, all the skittles, all the
Reese’s.
4) Count the number of “atoms” in each isotope.
5) Calculate the mass of one “atom” for each isotope using the total mass and number
of atoms.
6) Calculate the % abundance for each isotope using the number of atoms for each
isotope and the total number of atoms in the entire candium sample.
7) Calculate the average atomic mass for candium using the % abundance and mass of
one atom for each isotope. Show your work beneath the data table!
8) To check your answer, remember that the average atomic mass should be closest
to the most abundant isotope’s mass.

Calculating Isotope % Abundances
You will only be calculating percentages for elements that have 2 isotopes.
You will be given the 2 isotopes with their mass numbers.
Use the periodic table for the average atomic mass for the element.
1) Set one of the isotope’s relative abundance equal to X.
2) The relative abundances must add up to 1; therefore, the other
isotope’s relative abundance would be equal to 1-X.
3) Remember, the relative mass is equal to the relative abundance times
the mass number. Remember, the relative masses must add up to the
average atomic mass.
4) Setup an algebraic equation where the relative masses of each isotope
is set equal to the average atomic mass for the element. Use the full
average atomic mass from the periodic table, do NOT round.
(X • mass number) + [(1-x) • mass number] = average atomic mass
*When solving for X, keep 4 decimal places. This will allow the %
abundance to have 2 decimal places.
5) X is the relative abundance, so multiply this by 100 to make it %
abundance.
6) To obtain the other isotope’s % abundance, the 2 % abundances must
add up to 100.
17
Ex) Determine the % abundance for each isotope of antimony. Antimony
exists as Sb-121 and Sb-123.
(X • 121) + [(1-X) • 123] = 121.760
121X + 123 - 123X = 121.760
-2X = -1.24
X = 0.6200
The relative abundance of Sb-121 is 0.6200; therefore, the % abundance of
Sb-121 is 62.00% and the % abundance of Sb-123 is 38.00% (100-62=38).
Try this one:
Potassium exists as K-39 and K-41. Determine the % abundance for each
isotope of potassium.
