Chapter 3 Example Problems
3.1
A sample of copper is vaporized and injected into a spectrometer, the results are shown below.
Use the data obtained to calculate the average mass of copper. ( The mass for Cu-63 and Cu-62
are 62.94 amu and 64.94 amu.)
63 amu --- 69.10 atoms
65 amu --- 30.90 atoms
(69.10 atoms)(62.94 amu/atoms) + (30.90 atoms)(63.94 amu/atom) = 6355
6355amu/100 atoms = 63.55 amu/atom
Solution
Of every 100 atoms of copper 69.10 are Cu-63 and 30.90 are Cu-65. The mass of 100 atoms of
copper is 63.55 amu/atom.
