A
29.31%
B
49.31%
C
81.00%
D
50.69%
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the natural abundances of isotopes of the same element must add up to 100%.
Identify the given natural abundance of Br-79 as 50.69%.
Set up the equation for the total abundance: \(\text{Abundance of Br-79} + \text{Abundance of Br-81} = 100\%\).
Substitute the known value: \$50.69\% + \text{Abundance of Br-81} = 100\%$.
Solve for the abundance of Br-81 by subtracting: \(\text{Abundance of Br-81} = 100\% - 50.69\%\).
