Answer:

Average atomic mass  = 3.9 amu

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of He-2 = 0.420%

Percent abundance of He-3 = 2.75%

Percent abundance of He-4 = 96.83%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (0.420×2)+(2.75×3) +(96.83×4)/100

Average atomic mass =  0.84 + 8.25 +387.32 / 100

Average atomic mass = 396.41 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 3.9 amu.
