Antimony has two stable isotopes, $^{121} \mathrm{Sb}$ and $^{129} \mathrm{Sb}$, with masses of $120.9038 \mathrm{u}$ and $122.9042 \mathrm{u}$, respectively. Calculate the percent abundances of these isotopes of antimony.
Antimony (Sb) has two naturally occurring isotopes: Sb-121 and Sb-123. If Sb-121 has a 57.21 $\%$ abundance and a mass of $120.9 \mathrm{amu},$ and $\mathrm{Sb}-123$ has a $42.79 \%$ abundance and a mass of 122.9 amu, calculate the atomic mass for antimony using the weighted average mass method.
