Suppose you identify a new element, Pivotium. Pivotium has two isotopes: Pivotium-426 and Pivotium-417. In the mixture, 11% of the mixture is Pivotium-426; the rest of the mixture is Pivotium-417. What is the relative atomic mass for Pivotium?

Explanation:

Suppose you identify a new element, Pivotium. Pivotium has two isotopes: Pivotium-426  and Pivotium-417. In the mixture,  11% of the mixture is Pivotium-426; the rest of the mixture is Pivotium-417. What is the relative atomic mass for Pivotium?

Multiply the mass by the % written as a decimal and add the result.

426X0,11  +   417X 0.89  = 417.99 or 418

check 90% is. 417    only 10% 426

417X.9 +(426X0.10)=417.9
