Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Isotopes of Carbon**: Carbon has several isotopes, the most common being Carbon-12 (C-12) and Carbon-13 (C-13). 2. **Understand the Concept of Relative Atomic Mass**: Relative atomic mass is a weighted average of the masses of an element's isotopes, taking into account their natural abundance. 3. **Determine the Reference Isotope**: The standard reference isotope for calculating relative atomic masses is Carbon-12 (C-12). ...
