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>

How are plate tectonics and the rock cycle connected
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

All igneous rocks the basis of the rock cycle are formed by plate tectonics. ... The heat from the mantle that fuels plate tectonics causes both igneous and sedimentary rocks to be turned into metamorphic rocks. The metamorphic rocks can be eroded into sedimentary rocks are remelted back into igneous.

What is an element considered a pure substance?
Alona [7]

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)

He standard reduction potentials of lithium metal and chlorine gas are as follows: reaction reduction potential (v) li+(aq)+e−→l
AURORKA [14]

 2 Li(s)  +Cl₂→  2 Li⁺ (aq)  + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

The cell potential   of  the reaction above   is +4.40V

<em><u>calculation</u></em>

Cell  potential  =∈° red - ∈° oxidation

in  reaction above  Li  is  oxidized from oxidation state 0 to +1 therefore the∈° oxid = -3.04

  Cl  is  reduce   from oxidation  state 0 to -1 therefore  the ∈°red = +1.36 V

cell  potential is therefore = +1.36 v -- 3.04  = + 4.40 V
