Mass spectrum of zirconium, relative abundance

An example figure from the Mass Spectrum generator.

The mass spectrum of zirconium with five peaks from m/z 90 to 96, the tallest at m/z 90 scaled to 100
The mass spectrum of zirconium, its five natural isotopes from m/z 90 to 96, drawn with the tallest peak, zirconium-90, scaled to 100 and the others against it, as many textbooks and instruments show a spectrum.

Answer key

  • Zirconium (Zr): relative atomic mass 91.22
  • Relative atomic mass: (89.905 × 51.47 + 90.906 × 11.23 + 91.905 × 17.16 + 93.906 × 17.36 + 95.908 × 2.78) ÷ 100 = 91.22
