The average atomic mass of iron Isotopes is 55.90 amu.What is the average atomic mass?We know that because there is a phenomenon that we call isotopy, the average atomic mass of the elements is often not a whole number. The atoms of the elements tend to differ in the number of the neutrons that they posses. Thus isotopes are the atoms of the same elements that do not have the same number of neutrons.We now have to obtain the relative atomic mass of the iron atom while taking note of the different isotopes that we gave in the atom as we can see.We thus have;(54 * 5.80/100) + (56 * 91.72/100) + (57 * 2.20/100) + (58 * 0.28​/100)= 3.13 + 51.36 + 1.25 + 0.16= 55.90 amuThe average atomic mass of the iron as we can see from the calculation that is based on the table is obtained as 55.90 amu.Learn more about isotopes:https://brainly.com/question/11680817#SPJ1
