Today in class we did a "Beanium Lab" pretending that beans were a new element looking at the different isotopes. We uses white, black, red, and pinto beans for this "experiment". We found that in our sample of Beanium, we had 18 white isotopes, 12 black, 10 red, and 13 pinto, for a total of 53 isotopes. We discovered that the total mass of the white beanium was 5.45 grams, black was 2.36 grams, red was 3.43 grams, and pinto was 4.20 grams. The average mass of the isotope was .303 g white, 0.197 g black, 0.343 g red, and 0.323 g pinto. We also calculated the abundance of each isotope, with white being 33.96%, black being 22.64%, red being 18.87%, and pinto 24.53% abundance. Using the average mass of each isotope, the atomic mass formula, and the % abundance, to end this experiment, we calculated the atomic mass, which ended up being roughly 0.291 grams.
