The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.790 × 24 u = 18.96 u
0.100 × 25 u = 2.50 u
0.110 × 26 u = <u>2.86 u</u>
TOTAL = 24.3 u
∴ The relative atomic mass of X is 24.3.
You would have to dig up 261 g of sylvanite.
Mass of sylvanite = 73.0 g Au × (100 g sylvanite/28.0 g Au) = <em>261 g</em> sylvanite.
they try to ask themselves why certain things happen and they try to make an educated guess of what will happen.
They will attract each other. Similar to the saying opposites attract.
