To find the natural abundance of the copper-63 isotope, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Variables Let the natural abundance of the isotope copper-63 be \( X \) (in percentage). Consequently, the natural abundance of the isotope copper-65 will be \( 100 - X \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation The atomic weight of copper is given as \( 63.546 \) g/mol. The average atomic weight can be expressed using the natural abundances and atomic weights of the isotopes: \[ ...
