Question 36

Medium

A newly synthesized heavy metal, Novium ( $Nv\text{Nv}$ ), is analyzed using a mass spectrometer. The sample is found to consist of only two isotopes.

Table 1 shows the mass numbers and percentage abundances of these two isotopes:

Isotope	Mass number	Percentage abundance (%)
$286Nv^{286}\text{Nv}$	286	24.3
$289Nv^{289}\text{Nv}$	289	75.7

Calculate the relative atomic mass ( $A_r$ ) of this sample of Novium.

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
