Answer:
Atomic mass of Ag-107 = 106.94 amu
Explanation:
Let the mass of Ag-107 be y
Since the mass ratio of Ag-109/Ag-107 is 1.0187, the mass of Ag-109 is 1.0187 times heavier than the mass of Ag-107
Mass of Ag-109 = 1.0187y
Relative atomic mass of Ag = sum of (mass of each isotope * abundance)
Relative atomic mass of Ag = 107.87
Abundance of Ag-107 = 51.839% = 0.51839
Abundance of Ag-109 = 41.161% = 0.48161
107.87 = (y * 0.51839) + (1.018y * 0.48161)
107.87 = 0.51838y + 0.49027898y
107.87 = 1.00865898y
y = 107.87/1.00865898
y = 106.94 amu
Therefore, atomic mass of Ag-107 = 106.94 amu
