Atomic mass of boron = 10.81

<h3>What are Isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are variants of a particular element in which they have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons in the atom.

So, here as we said we have isotopes which weigh 10.01 and 11.01.

Given,

relative abundance of B-10 = 10.1 amu

relative abundance of B- 11 = 11.01 amu

percentage of B-10 = 20%

percentage of B-11 = 80%

Then the relative atomic mass depends upon the relative abundance of various isotopes of that particular element. Suppose an element consists of two isotopes and average atomic mass is equal to

(Relativeabundance(1)×Atomicmass(1)+Relativeabundance(2)×Atomicmass(2)) / (Relativeabundance(1)+Relativeabundance(2))

Atomic mass of boron = (20 × 10.01 + 80 × 11.01) / (80 + 20 )

= 1081/100

= 10.81

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25.2 g of acetic acid.

Explanation:

Data

[Acetic acid] = 0.839 M

Volume = 0.5 L

Molecular weight = 60.05 g/mol

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of acetic acid

    Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

    moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

    moles = (0.839)(0.5)

-Result

    moles = 0.4195

2.- Calculate the mass of acetic acid using proportions and cross multiplications

                   60.05 g ----------------------- 1 mol

                        x        ----------------------- 0.4195 moles

                        x = (0.4195 x 60.05) / 1

                        x = 25.19 g

3.- Conclusion

25.2 g are needed to prepare 0.500 L of Acetic acid 0.839M

Which atom absorbs more energy, one in which an electron moves from the second shell to the third shell or an otherwise identica
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

identical atom in which an electron moves from the first to the third shell.

Atoms may occupy different energy states. The energy states are discrete, i.e. they occur at specific values only. Therefore an atom can only move to a new energy level if it absorbs or emits an amount of energy that exactly corresponds to the difference between two energy levels.

The lowest possible energy level that the atom can occupy is called the ground state. This is the energy state that would be considered normal for the atom.

An excited state is an energy level of an atom, ion, or molecule in which an electron is at a higher energy level than its ground state.

An electron is normally in its ground state, the lowest energy state available. After absorbing energy, it may jump from the ground state to a higher energy level, called an excited state.

Describe the bonding between sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

When the transfer of electrons occurs, an electrostatic attraction between the two ions of opposite charge takes place and an ionic bond is formed. A salt such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is a good example of a molecule with ionic bonding

2. When 400 J of heat is added to 5.6 g of olive oil at 23*C, the temperature increases to 87*C. What is the specific heat of th
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The answer to your question is C = 1.116 J/g°C

Explanation:

Data

Q = 400 J

mass = 5.6 g

Temperature 1 = T1 = 23°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 87°C

Specific heat = C = ?

Formula

Q = mC(T2 - T1)

- Solve for C

C = Q / m(T2 - T1)

- Substitution

C = 400 / 5.6 (87 - 23)

- Simplification

C = 400 / 5.6(64)

C = 400 / 358.4

- Result

C = 1.116 J/g°C
