Calculate the atomic mass of titanium. The five titanium isotopes have atomic masses and relative abundances of 45.953 amu (8.00%), 46.952 amu (7.30%), 47.948 amu (73.80%), 48.948 amu (5.50%), and 49.945 amu (5.40%)
47.867 amu
(amu x fraction) + (amu x fraction) + (amu x fraction) + amu x fraction) + (amu x fraction).
Substitute each isotope and fraction abundance; e.g. (45.953*0.08) + (46.952*0.0730) etc etc etc = atomic mass.
47.87
(47.89 with sig figs)
To calculate the atomic mass of titanium, we need to consider the atomic masses and relative abundances of its isotopes.
First, we multiply each isotope's atomic mass by its relative abundance:
(45.953 amu * 0.08) + (46.952 amu * 0.073) + (47.948 amu * 0.738) + (48.948 amu * 0.055) + (49.945 amu * 0.054)
Next, we sum up these values:
(3.67624) + (3.420296) + (35.282824) + (2.69264) + (2.69613) = 47.76813 amu
Therefore, the atomic mass of titanium is approximately 47.76813 amu.
