Question

c. suppose a new isotope, x-32 (mass = 31.972 amu), is discovered. predict how the average atomic mass of the element would change if this isotope were stable and present in measurable abundance, and explain your reasoning. (1 points)

Explanation:

The problem is incomplete as it does not provide the existing isotopes and their abundances/masses of element X. Without this information, we cannot calculate how the average atomic mass would change if X-32 is discovered.

Answer:

Incomplete information provided. Existing isotopes, their masses, and abundances of element X are needed to predict the change in average atomic mass.
