c. Naturally occurring silver is a mixture of two isotopes, 47Ag and 47Ag. However,
its relative atomic mass is 108. In contrast, although naturally occurring carbon is
a mixture of two isotopes, 6C and 6C, its relative atomic mass is 12. Explain how
this is possible.

2. Solid, gaseous and liquid substances combine in various ways to form mixtures. The
properties of mixtures depend on those of the substances that make them up. These
