Question:

A mass spectrum of germanium displayed peaks at mass numbers 70, 72, 73, 74, and 76, with relative heights of 20.5, 27.4, 7.8, 36.5, and 7.8, respectively.

(a) In the manner of Figure 2-14, sketch this mass spectrum.

(b) Estimate the weighted-average atomic mass of germanium, and state why this result is only approximately correct.
