That's because the first and last carbon atoms cannot be branched to form an isomer . Therefore only the three middle carbon atoms can form isomers.
<h2>Natural Abundance for 10B is 19.60%</h2>
Explanation:
- The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60%.
- The natural isotopic abundance of 11B is 80.40%.
- The isotopic masses of boron are 10.0129 u and 11.009 u respectively.
For calculation of abundance of both the isotopes -
Supposing it was 50/50, the average mass would be 10.5, so to increase the mass we need a more percentage of 11.
Determining it as an equation -
10x + 11y= 10.8
x+y=1 (ratio)
10x + 10y = 10
By taking the denominator away from the numerator
we get;
y = 0.8
x + y = 1
∴ x = 0.2
To get percentages we need to multiply it by 100
So, the calculated abundance is 80% for 11 B and 20% 10 B.
9.00g/1hr * 1kg/100g * 1hr/60min = 0.00015kg/min or 1.5 * 10^-4kg/min.
