    Average Atomic Weight (X) = 87.638974 amu

    Explanation:

    To find the average atomic weight of an unknown element that exhibit multiple isotopes is given by:

    Average Atomic Weight = Percentage of given isotope in the mass spectrum x The corresponding atomic weight of given isotope

    Average Atomic Weight (X) = [0.0056 x 83.91343] + [0.098860 x 85.90927] + [0.07 x 86.90890] + [0.8258 x 87.90562] = 87.638974 amu

    solution:

    Find the average of atomic weight is

    (0.0056 x 83.91343) + (0.098860 x 85.90927) + (0.07x86.90890) + (0.8258x87.90562) = 87.61665 amu
