Solution

To calculate the average atomic mass of an element, you need to multiply the mass of each isotope by its relative abundance (as a decimal), then add those values together.

Here's how you can do it for element X:

  1. Convert the percentages to decimals by dividing by 100. So, 62.00% becomes 0.62 and 38.00% becomes 0.38.

  2. Multiply the mass of each isotope by its relative abundance. For X-121, this would be 121.76 amu * 0.62 = 75.4912 amu. For X-123, this would be 123.00 amu * 0.38 = 46.74 amu.

  3. Add these two values together to get the average atomic mass of element X. So, 75.4912 amu + 46.74 amu = 122.2312 amu.

So, the average atomic mass of element X is approximately 122.23 amu.
