Relative atomic mass problem?
Please tell me how to calculate the relative atomic mass of this sample of germanium?
^70Ge = Relative abundance: 22.60%
^72Ge = Relative abundance: 25.45%
^74Ge = Relative abundance: 36.73%
^76Ge = Relative abundance: 15.22%
Update:Is the answer 7289.14?

- Relative atomic mass = percentage x molar mass
--> (22.60 /100 ) x 70 = 15.82
--> (25.45/100 ) x 72 = 18.324
--> (36.73/100 ) x 74 = 27.1802
--> (15.22/100 ) x 76 = 11.5672
Relative atomic mass is equal to 15. 82 + 18.32 + 27.1802 + 11.5672 =72.8914 not 7289.14
Relative atomic mass is 72.8914
