There are two stable isotopes of Chlorine, Cl-35 and Cl-37.

The
mass of Cl-35 is 34.969 and the mass of Cl-37 is 36.966. The
average atomic mass of Cl is 35.457. Calculate the abundances of
Cl-35 and Cl-37 from this information.

 Abundance is usually expressed as a percentage. It can also be expressed in

decimal form where 100% corresponds to 1.
 A sum of the abundances of all the isotopes should equal 1. If isotope 1 has b
abundance, isotope 2 has 1 – b abundance.

Relative atomic mass = (Mass of isotope 1 x b) + [Mass of isotope 2 x (1 - b)]

Chlorine case

35.457 = 34.969b + 36.966(1- b)

35.457 = 34.969 b + 36.966 - 36.966 b
35.457 = - 1.997 b = -1.509
b = -1.509/-1.997
b = 0.7556
The abundance of Cl-35 = 100 x 0.7556 = 75.56%.
The abundance of Cl-37 = 100(1 -0.7556) = 24.44%
