The atomic weight of `Cu` is `63.546`. There are only two naturally occurring isotopes of copper `.^(63)Cu` and `.^(65)Cu`. The natural abundance of the`.^(63)Cu` isotope must be approximately.A. `10%`B. `30%`C. `50%`D. `72.7%` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D `.^(63)Cu" ".^(65)Cu` `%` abundance `x" "100-x` Avg mass `=(M_(1)x_(1)+M_(2)x_(2))/(x_(1)+x_(2))` `63.546 = (63xx x + 65(100-x))/(100)` `6354.6=63x+6500-65x` `2x = 145.4 rArr x =70%` . |
