Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.15 Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Use the isotope data display shown with this question. Element E has three isotopes with exact masses and abundances shown. What average atomic mass should be selected?
A50.94 amu
B51.50 amu
C52.00 amu
D51.04 amu
Solution & Explanation:Using the displayed data, (49.95)(0.050) + (50.94)(0.800) + (51.94)(0.150) = 51.0405 amu, which rounds to 51.04 amu.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student calculates an average atomic mass of 24.305 amu from magnesium isotope data. Which answer choice best matches a periodic table rounded to two decimal places?
A24.30 amu
B24.305 amu
C24.31 amu
D24.40 amu
Solution & Explanation:Rounding 24.305 to two decimal places gives 24.31 amu because the third decimal place rounds the hundredths place up.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Use the data-check table shown with this question. Which row contains data that cannot describe one element's natural isotope mixture?
ARow A
BRow C
CRow B
DRow D
Solution & Explanation:Row C lists an average atomic mass outside the range of its isotope masses. A weighted average must lie between the lightest and heaviest listed isotopes.
