Calculate Percent Abundance



Formula

The formula to calculate the Percent Abundance is:

\[ A = \left( \frac{IM}{AM} \right) \times 100 \]

What is Percent Abundance?

Percent abundance refers to the relative amount or proportion of a particular isotope within a sample of an element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, resulting in different atomic masses. Since most elements have multiple isotopes, percent abundance helps in determining the average atomic mass of an element.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ A = \left( \frac{200}{400} \right) \times 100 = 50 \]

The Percent Abundance is 50%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ A = \left( \frac{150}{300} \right) \times 100 = 50 \]

The Percent Abundance is 50%.
