Percent natural abundance

There are five naturally occurring isotopes of germanium ranging in mass from 70 to 76. The percent natural abundance for these isotopes is presented in Table 1. 73Ge and...

We start by using the percent natural abundances for 87Rb and 85Rb along with the data in the "spiked" mass spectrum to find the total mass of Rb in the sample. Then, we calculate the Rb content in the rock sample in ppm by mass by dividing the mass of Rb by the total mass of the rock sample, and then multiplying the result by 106 to convert to ppm.

In nature, 75.771 % of all chlorine atoms, by weight, are Cl-35, and 24.229% are the heavier isotope, Cl-37. The percentage distribution of the isotopes of an element is called the percent natural abundance or just natural abundance of the isotopes. All samples of chlorine, no matter the source, have the same percent natural abundance of the two isotopes. It is a nonchanging mixture of isotopes, but remember that even though they are isotopes of one another, they are still atoms of the same element and have the same chemical properties. For comparison, the isotope composition of two other elements, carbon and magnesium, are given in the following table.

Each naturally occurring sample of an element has the same percent natural abundance of each isotope. These percentages, together with the mass of each isotope, are used to compute the atomic mass of the element, a weighted average of the masses of the individual isotopes. 

The percent natural abundance of isotopes is the relative amount of each different isotope in a naturally occurring sample of a given element. 

A certain element consists of two stable isotopes. The first has an atomic mass of 137.9068 amu and a percent natural abundance of 0.09%. The second has an atomic mass of 138.9061 amu and a percent natural abundance of 99.91%. What is the atomic mass of the element ...

Assume that when Earth formed, uranium-238 and uranium-235 were equally abundant. Their current percent natural abundances are 99.28% uranium-238 and 0.72% uranium-235. Given half-lives of 4.5 X 10 years for uranium-238 and 7.1 X 10 years for uranium-235, determine the age of Earth corresponding to this assumption. 

The isotopic mass data are from G. Audi and A. H. Wapstra, and M. Dedieu, Nuclear Physics A, volume 565, pages 1-65 (1993) and G. Audi and A. H. Wapstra, Nuclear Physics A, volume 595, pages 409-480 (1995). The percent natural abundance data are from K.J.R. Rosman and RD.R Taylor, Pure and Applied Chemistry, volume 70, pages 217-235 (1998).
