Answer

Naturally occurring gallium has the following percent of its isotopes: $\%$ of $^{69}Ga = 60.11\%$ $\%$ of $^{71}Ga = 39.89\%$

Work Step by Step

$Ar(Ga) = 69.723amu$ Mass of $^{69}Ga=68.925580amu$ Mass of $^{71}Ga=70.9247005amu$--- Let's assume that the fraction of $^{69}Ga$ is equal to $x$, $0
