Q: A sample of pitchblende contains 71.4 g uranium and 12.8 g oxygen. If you have 142.8 g of pitchblende, how many grams of uranium would you expect to find?

$$142.8 \times \frac{71.4}{84.2} = 121.2 g$$

Q: A certain element has two naturally occurring isotopes: $$^{35}X ($$mass = 34.97 amu, abundance = 75.77%) and $$^{37}X ($$mass = 36.97 amu, abundance = 24.23%). What is the atomic mass of the element?

$$(0.7577 \times 34.97) + (0.2423 \times 36.97) = 35.45$$ amu
