<u>Answer:</u> The two isotopes of boron differs in mass number rather than atomic number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species that have same atomic number but differ in their mass number.

Boron is the 5th element of the periodic table and have 2 naturally occurring isotopes. The isotopes are : B-10 and B-11

<u>For _5^{10}\textrm{B} isotope:</u>

Percentage abundance of this isotope = 20 %

Atomic number = 5

Mass number = 10

<u>For _5^{11}\textrm{B} isotope:</u>

Percentage abundance of this isotope = 80 %

Atomic number = 5

Mass number = 11

Hence, the two isotopes of boron differs in mass number rather than atomic number.

How many joules are required to heat 2 l of water in a pot from 20 ◦c to the boiling point of water? the specific heat of water
miss Akunina [59]
  The  joules  required  to   heat 2L  of  water  in  a  pot  from  20  c  to  the  boiling  point  of  water  is  calculated     using the following  formula

  Q=    MC  delta  T
M  = mass  =   density  x   volume(  2  x 1000= 2000ml)
M  =     1g/ml  x2000  ml  =  2000g
C  =  specific  heat   capacity =  4.18  g/c
delta  T  =  change  in  temperature  =  100 c (  boiling  point  of  water)   -  20 c =  80 c 
Q  is therefore  =   2000 g x 4.18 j/g c  x  80c  =  668800j

A gas generation tube contains both the reactants involved in a chemical reaction and the gases that are produced.
Lady bird [3.3K]

The reaction will come to an end if all the reactants are used up. The reaction's limiting reactant is reactant B.

Limiting Reactant: The limiting reactant is the one that is consumed first and sets a limit on the quantity of product(s) that can be obtained.

This reactant is the one that restricts the production of products throughout the reaction. The reaction will come to an end if all of the reactants are used up.

surplus reactant

This is the limiting reactant that is present in excess and reacts with it all. Oxygen in the surroundings, as an illustration.

When all of the reactant B has been utilized, the reaction ends.
