Naturally occuring boron is 80.20% boron-11 (atomic mass 11.01 amu) and 19.80% of some other isotope. What must the atomic mass

of this second isotope be in order to account for the 10.81 amu average atomic mass of boron?.

You will have to do some math. 

<span>80.2 × 11.01 + 19.8 × x = 100 * 10.81. </span>

<span>x is the mass in amu of the second isotope. </span>

<span>Solve for x. </span>

<span>19.8 × x = 100 * 10.81 - 80.2 × 11.01 </span>
<span>19.8 × x = 1081 - 883.00 = 198.00 </span>
<span>x = 1964.00 / 19.8 = 10.00 </span>

<span>The mass of the other isotope is 10.00 amu.</span>

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.
