Solution

To determine the average atomic mass of titanium, you need the following information about its five naturally occurring isotopes:

  1. The exact atomic mass of each isotope: This is the mass of an isotope, taking into account the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. It is usually measured in atomic mass units (amu).

  2. The natural abundance of each isotope: This is the percentage of each isotope found in nature. For example, if an isotope of titanium makes up 20% of all naturally occurring titanium, its natural abundance is 20%.

Once you have this information, you can calculate the average atomic mass by multiplying the atomic mass of each isotope by its natural abundance (expressed as a decimal), and then adding up these products.
