Hello!

To do this, use the molar mass. This is how much a mole of an atom weighs. A mole is 6.02214076×10²³ atoms.

Molar masses of:

Se: 78.96 g/mol

Cu: 63.546 g/mol

Ba: 137.327 g/mol

Now, the element with the highest molar mass will have the fewest atoms. This is because the element weighs more, so therefore for the same amount of mass, there will be less of the element needed to reach that mass.

Therefore, 10g of Ba would have the fewest number of atoms.

Hope this helps!

Boron has an average mass of 10.81. One isotope of boron has a mass of 10.012938 and a relative abundance of 19.80 percent. The
Andrej [43]

The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:

average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ...  an so on

For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:

average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)

We plug in the values:

10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938  + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020

mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975

mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)
