Answer:

Average Atomic Mass= 63.5 amu

Explanation:

Average Atomic Mass Equation:

(Mass 1)(% Abundance) +(Mass 2)(% Abundance)

Plug in Variables:

Make sure to convert the percentages into decimals. (Left two places)

Use the order of operations when solving.

(62.9)(0.692) + (64.9)(0.308) = AAM

Multiply each side

43.5268 + 19.9892 = AAM

Add the products together

63.516 = AAM

Add proper unit and satisfy the 3 significant figures needed

63.5 amu
