To solve the problem of determining the percentage of each copper isotope present in the average atomic mass of copper (63.5), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let the percentage of the isotope \( ^{63}Cu \) be \( x \). Therefore, the percentage of the isotope \( ^{65}Cu \) will be \( 100 - x \). 2. **Set Up the Average Atomic Mass Equation**: ...
