Average Atomic Mass Flashcards
1
Q
What do you need to know it order to find out the average atomic mass?
A
Isotope, mass, percent abundance, relative abundance, relative mass
2
Q
Relative abundance
A
isotope, mass, and percent abundance will be given but to convert percent abundance to relative abundance, move the decimal over two places
3
Q
Relative mass
A
after following steps to finding relative abundance, multiply relative abundance by mass to get relative mass (round if necessary)
4
Q
Final mass
A
add all of the relative mass going down the chart to get the final answer (round if necessary)
