    The sample of indium, has an average atomic mass of 114.818 amu

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Indium is made of 95.7 % 115In and 4.3% 113In

    113In has an atomic mass of 112.904 amu

    115In has an atomic mass of 114.904amu

    Step 2: Calculate the average atomic mass

    The average atomic mass = X

    0.957 * 114.904 + 0.043 * 112.904 = X

    109.963 + 4.855 = X

    X = 114.818

    The sample of indium, has an average atomic mass of 114.818 amu
