A hypothetical element has two main isotopes with mass numbers of 59 and 62. If 73.00% of the isotopes have a mass number of 59 amu, what atomic weight should be listed on the periodic table for this element? Answer in units of amu.

since 73% of the isotope is given, take 100%-73% to get the remaining % of the isotopes which is going to be 27%.

hence,

atomic weight= (73×59) + (27×62)

=4307+1302

=5609 amu
