Isotope Mass Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Isotope Mass (\(IM\)):

\[ IM = TM \times \frac{PM}{100} \]

Where:

\(IM\) is the Isotope Mass (g)
\(TM\) is the Total Substance Mass (g)
\(PM\) is the Isotope Percent Mass (%)

What is Isotope Mass?

The Isotope Mass is a measure of the mass of a specific isotope in a sample of a substance. This is calculated by taking the total mass of the substance and multiplying it by the percentage of the isotope present in the sample.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Substance Mass (\(TM\)) = 100 g
Isotope Percent Mass (\(PM\)) = 20%

Using the formula:

\[ IM = 100 \times \frac{20}{100} = 100 \times 0.2 = 20 \]

The Isotope Mass is 20 g.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Substance Mass (\(TM\)) = 250 g
Isotope Percent Mass (\(PM\)) = 15%

Using the formula:

\[ IM = 250 \times \frac{15}{100} = 250 \times 0.15 = 37.5 \]

The Isotope Mass is 37.5 g.
