A scientist went hiking and took water samples at the top of a mountain and did an isotopic analysis of the oxygen atoms in the sample and recorded the average atomic mass The data is shown below Location Mountain Top Average Atomic Mass of the Sample 17 869 amu Based on the information in the chart which of the following conclusions can be made about the abundance of isotopes at the top of the mountain There is an abundance of oxygen 16 because the average atomic mass is 17 869 amu There is an abundance of oxygen 18 because the average atomic mass is 17 869 amu There is an abundance of oxygen 16 because the average atomic mass is 16 000 amu There is an abundance of oxygen 18 because the average atomic mass is 16 000 amu
