Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.979 u, 77.11% abundance), X-29 (28.976 u, 8.00% abundance), and X-30 (29.974 u, 14.89% abundance). Calculate the atomic weight of X.

The atomic weight of X is 28.356 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

X-28 has an isotopic mass of 27.979 u and an baundance of 77.11%

X-29 has an isotopic mass of 28.976 u and an baundance of 8.00 %

X-30 has an isotopic mass of 29.974 u and an baundance of 14.89 %

Step 2:  Calculate the atomic weight of X.

Atomic weight of X = 27.979 * 0.7711 + 0.28.976 * 0.08 + 29.974 *0.1489

Atomic weight of X = 28.356 amu

The atomic weight of X is 28.356 amu

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
