<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.

Balance the following equation:<br> K+ H2O + H2 + KOH
alex41 [277]

Answer:

2K + 2H2O → H2 + 2KOH

Explanation:

Find how many atoms you have on both sides then add 2 to both sides.

Reactant:       Products:

K: 1+1=2                K: 1+1=2

H: 2+2=4             H: 3+1=4

O: 1+1=2                O: 1+1=2

Therefore it is balanced. Hope this helps

How many uL are present in 250 mL of H20? (1 uL = 10^-6 Liters)​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

250000 μL

Explanation:

If         1 L = 1000 mL

Then  X L = 250 mL

X = (1 × 250) / 1000 = 0.25 L

Now we can calculate the number of microliters (μL) in 0.25 L:

if        1 μL = 10⁻⁶ L

then   X μL = 0.25 L

X = (1 × 0.25) / 10⁻⁶  =250000 μL
