Here is a problem I have. Not really sure where to start. I'm not looking for the answer, I just want someone to point me in the right direction.
A hypothetical element X has three isotopes: 40X, 41X, and 42X. Their abundances are 72.00%, 9.00% and 19.0% respectively. What is the atomic mass of X?
(A) 40.5 amu (B) 40.8 amu (C) 41.0 amu (D) 41.5 amu
Never mind, found info on how to find the answer here, should have Googled first... http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryquickreview/a/atomicweight.htm
