thank you can you help me with other one?

Silicon has three naturally occurring isotopes. Silicon-28 has a mass of 27.98 and a relative abundance of 92.23%. Silicon-29 has a mass of 28.98 and a relative abundance of 4.68%. Silicon-30 has a mass of 29.97 and a relative abundance of 3.09%. What is the weighted average atomic mass of silicon?
27.99 g/mol
28.09 g/mol
28.98 g/mol
29.00 g/mol
I really don't understand is there a certain formula to use?
OpenStudy (gazela1997):
no there isnts, ita actually very simple to do this
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
how do you solve it?

divide the percentages of the isotopes by 100, then multiply them by their atomic number and add them all up to find the abundance.
(28x0.9223)+(29x0.0468)+(30x0.0309)=28.10 relative abudance
OpenStudy (gazela1997):
and for the average atomic weight you add them all up and divide by four
OpenStudy (gazela1997):
do you get it?
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
wait let me solve it
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
@GAzela1997 is it B??

ions are elements that have been in a reaction
OpenStudy (gazela1997):
the difference between isotopes is that they have the same number of protons in the nucleus but different number of nutrons
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
oooo
OpenStudy (gazela1997):
medal pls :D
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
thanks you!

the periodic table is numbered elements for how many protons it has in the nucleous
