Which numerical setup can be used to calculate the
atomic mass of the element bromine?

The atomic mass of bromine has been calculated as 79.9062 amu.

The relative atomic mass of the element has been given as the mass of each isotope with respect to their abundance.

The atomic mass has been given as:

The available isotopes of Bromine have been:

Isotope 1 = 78.92 amu, and 0.5069 % abundance

Isotope 2= 80.92 amu, and 0.4931 % abundance

From the numerical steps highlighted under explanation, the average atomic mass of bromine is 79.91 u

Explanation:

The steps to be taken will involve;

1) Find the number of isotopes of bromine.

2) Identify the atomic mass and relative abundance of each of the isotopes.

3) Multiply the atomic mass of each of the isotopes by their corresponding values relative abundance value.

4) Add the value in step 3 above to get the average atomic mass of bromine.

Now;

Bromine has 2 isotopes namely;

Isotope 1: Atomic mass = 78.92amu and a relative abundance of 50.69%.

Isotope 2: Atomic mass = 80.92amu and a relative abundance of 49.31%.

Using step 3 above, we have;

(78.92 × 50.69%)

And (80.92 × 49.31%)

Using step 4 above, we have;

(78.92 × 50.69%) + (80.92 × 49.31%) ≈ 79.91 u

the answer is 1 i believe
