In a mass spectrum, there are two peaks, one at m/z 63.0 with percentage abundance 69.1%, and another peak at m/z 65.0 with percentage abundance 30.9%. determine the relative atomic mass (ar) for this element, giving the answer to 3 significant figures.

Relative atomic mass of the element is 63.6 amu.

Explanation: We are given an element having 2 peaks in the mass spectrum, which means that the masses of two isotopes of an element are given.

m/z value of isotope 1 or mass of isotope 1 = 63amu

m/z value of isotope 2 or mass of isotope 2 = 65amu

Fractional abundance of the isotopes can be calculated as:

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 =

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 =

To calculate average atomic mass of an element, we use the formula:

Now, putting the values of abundances and mass numbers of 2 isotopes in above equation, we get

Average Atomic Mass of given element = 63.618 amu

Converting this into 3 significant figures, we get

Average atomic mass = 63.6 amu

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
