Question

What is the average atomic mass of the sample having 70% carbon-12 and 30% carbon-14?

  1. 15
  2. 16
  3. 12
  4. 14

hintHint:

The average atomic mass of nitrogen isotope is the percentage present multiplies by that atomic mass of all the isotopes added.

The correct answer is: 14


    The average atomic mass of nitrogen isotope is the percentage present multiplies by that atomic mass of all the isotopes added.
    The isotopes of carbon are 70% carbon-12 and 30% carbon-14.
    The average mass = (0.7 cross times 12 + 0.3 cross times 14) = (8.4 + 4.2) = 12.6
