What is relative atomic mass?
How do you calculate the relative atomic mass?
The relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of all the isotopes of an element
Relative mass = (Isotope mass x isotope abundance)/100
Copper consists of 69% copper-63 and 31% copper-65. What is the relative atomic mass of copper?
Relative atomic mass = (69 x 63) + (31 x 65) divided by 100 = 63.62
