basically you are calculating a weighted average ex: if you have a class where tests are 80% of your grade and homework is 20% then your grade is 80% test average + 20% homework average

Vocaloid:

applying this logic to your problem: isotope 1's contribution is 78.9 amu + 0.128 repeat this process w/ the other isotopes and add up the three results then units are amu

zarkam21:

249.70

Vocaloid:

78.9 amu* 0.128

Vocaloid:

should be a multiplication sign not an addition sign

Vocaloid:

so 78.9*0.128 + 82.9*0.131 + 86.9*0.741

zarkam21:

85.352 to 4 sig figs so it would be 85.35

Vocaloid:

hm not quite. notice all the numbers in the table are XX.X so each only has 3 sig figs

zarkam21:

85.4 amu

Vocaloid:

good
