Iridium has only two naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of iridium-191 is 190.9605 amu and the mass of iridium-193 is 192.9629 amu. Use the atomic mass of iridium (192.216 amu) to calculate the percent abundance of iridium-191. Enter your numerical answer to four significant figures. Do not include the % symbol.
