You discover a chunk of white shiny metal and want to know what it is made of. So, you have it analyzed by mass spectrometry and you see two peaks of different heights, according to the data shown below:
Peak 1
- mass (amu): 106.90509
-relative peak height (%): 53.875%
Peak 2
-mass (amu): 108.90476
-relative peak height (%): 46.125%
Calculate the atomic mass of this metal.
I got 107.83 amu.
Based on your answers to question 9, do you think that the chunk of metal could come from outer space? Explain why or why not. Please mention at least one likely chemical identity of the unknown metal (my answer for this one is Ag).
I don't know if the chunk of metal could come from outer space? Please explain this.

well silver usually is found in mines but if you are asking original origin I suppose everything sort of comes from outer space.
