Q: A sample of naturally occurring gallium has an average atomic mass of 69.7 and consists of two isotopes, gallium-69 and gallium-71. If the atomic masses are 68.9 amu and 70.9 amu respectively, which equation would you use to calculate the percent abundance of gallium-69?

$$69.7 = (x \times 68.9) + ((1-x) \times 70.9)$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the number of neutrons in an atom?
