    Europium is used in the printing of euro banknotes because it glows red

    under UV light. This red light (or lack thereof) can be used to detect forged
    euros.
    Europium has two stable isotopes: 151 Eu and 153 Eu. The heavier isotope
    is 1.10 times more abundant than the lighter isotope. If Eu-151 has an atomic
    mass of 150.91985 amu, what is the atomic mass of Eu-153? (8 pts)
    Relative Atomic Mass of Eu = 151.964 amu

    1.10 × x + 150.91985 1.10x + 150.91985

    2.1 × RAM = 1.10x + 150.91985.
