Answer:

Percent abundance of  B¹⁰ is 19.9% and  B¹¹ is 80.1%.

The weighted average atomic mass of boron is 10.811 amu.

Explanation:

We know that average atomic mass of Boron is 10.811 amu and there are two isotopes of boron B¹⁰ (10.012938) and B¹¹ (11.009305)

We will determine the percent abundance of each isotopes.

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes B¹⁰ and  B¹¹.

X for the isotopes having mass 11.009305 amu.

1-x for isotopes having mass 10.012938 amu.

The average atomic mass of Boron is 10.811 amu

we will use the following equation,

11.009305x +  10.012938  ( 10.012938 -x) = 10.811

11.009305x +  10.012938 -  10.012938 x = 10.811

11.009305x   -  10.012938 x = 10.811 -  10.012938

0.996367x = 0.798062

x= 0.798062 / 0.996367

x= 0.800972

Percent abundance of B¹¹.

0.800972 × 100 = 80.1 %

80.1 % is abundance of B¹¹ because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of B¹⁰.

(1-x)

1-0.800972 =0.199

Percent abundance of  B¹⁰.

0.199 × 100=  19.9%

19.9% for B¹⁰.

Now we can calculate the average atomic mass of boron.

Formula:

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Average atomic mass = [19.9 × 10.012938] + [80.1 × 11.009305] / 100

Average atomic mass = 199.2575 + 881.8453 / 100

Average atomic mass = 10.811 amu

If the gas in the piston above has a volume of 20.0 L at a temperature of 25 C what is the volume of that gas when it is heated
dexar [7]

Answer:

15.98 L

Explanation:

First, you need to find T1, T2, V1 and V2.

T1 = 25 C = 298.15 K (25C + 273.15K)

T2 = 100 C = 373.15 K (100C + 273.15K)

V1 = 20. L

V2 = ? (we are trying to find)

Next, rearrange to fit the formula

V2 = V1 x T1 / T2

Next, fill in with our numbers

V2 = 20. L x 298.15 K / 373.15 K

Do the math and you should get...

15.98 L

- If you need more help or futher explanation please let me know. I would be glad to help!

Write the balanced chemical equation between H2SO4H2SO4 and KOHKOH in aqueous solution. This is called a neutralization reaction
const2013 [10]

Answer:

0.185M sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

<em>1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of KOH</em>

Initial moles of H₂SO₄ and KOH are:

H₂SO₄: 0.750L ₓ (0.470mol / L) = <em>0.3525 moles of H₂SO₄</em>

KOH: 0.700L ₓ (0.240mol / L) = <em>0.168 moles of KOH</em>

The moles of sulfuric acis that react with KOH are:

0.168mol KOH ₓ (1 mole H₂SO₄ / 2 moles KOH) = 0.0840 moles of sulfuric acid.

Thus, moles that remain are:

0.3525moles - 0.0840 moles = <em>0.2685 moles of sulfuric acid remains</em>

As total volume is 0.700L + 0.750L = 1.450L, concentration is:

0.2685mol / 1.450L = <em>0.185M sulfuric acid</em>
