Atomic weight of compound =342.38am

Mass of lighter isotope= 340.91amu

%\% abundance of lighter isotope

=68.322%\%

Mass of lighter isotope in the compound

=68.322100x340.91= \frac{68.322}{100}x 340.91

=232.9165amu= 232.9165amu

Mass of heavier isotope in the compound

=342.38 - 232.9165

=109.4635amu

%\% abundance of heavier isotope

=100%68.322%100\%-68.322\%

=31.678%\%


31.678100×\therefore\frac {31.678}{100}× mass of the heavier isotope

= 109.4635

    \implies mass of heavier isotope

109.463531.678×100\frac {109.4635}{31.678}×100


= 345.55 amu
