Copper Isotopes

Chemistry Level 1

Copper exists naturally as two isotopes, whose atomic masses are given below.

  • 63 C u ^{63} \ce{Cu} : 62.9296 amu
  • 65 C u ^{65} \ce{Cu} : 64.9278 amu

Which of the following additional information would be needed to calculate the molar mass of copper?

The percent abundance of copper-63 The atomic mass of copper-64 The average atomic radius of copper The half-lives of copper-63 and copper-65
