What is the method for calculating atomic mass from isotopes?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate a missing part in a set, particularly when determining atomic mass, one must compute the weighted average of an element's isotopes based on their percent abundance. Resources like Wikipedia can provide guidance on how to perform a weighted average calculation. Patience is advised when seeking assistance on forums, as responses may take time.

Hi Friend,

When you are looking for help on these boards please be patient and wait for someone to assist you.

As for your question on how to calculate the atomic mass, in order to find the atomic mass of an element you must take the weighted average of its isotopes (based on percent abundance). You can take a look at how to do a weighted average from wikipedia or google it.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
