Litharge is a yellow oxide of lead with a formula of PbO, which is formed by heating lead metal in air. 
The mass of one mole of PbO is 223.2 grams
1 mole of PbO contains 16 g of oxygen
Therefore; the percentage of oxygen will be;
     (16/223.2) × 100 = 7.168 %

The  %  composition  by mass  of oxygen in litharge ( grams formula mass=223.2 g/mol) is  calculated as  below

%  composition is   percentage  by mass  of  each   element  in a  compound
which  is  calculated  as follows

%composition = molar mass  of element/molar  mass  of  compound  x100

The  molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

therefore the % composition  = 16 g/mol/ 223.2 g/ mol  x100 = 7.17 %  of oxygen

Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of
podryga [215]

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu

A large clump of ice is placed into a saucepan and heated to at least 1000C. Explain the changes that would take place by using
Mamont248 [21]
By start heating the water so,
1- the physical changes to the water will begin by going through different states of matter such as solid, liquid and gas vapor. 

2- Water is a compound, not an element (H2o).

3- It will change according to the temperature change also:

a- At zero C° it is at a freezing temperature.

b- when it starts to be heated from 0C° to 100 c°, it starts to change from freezing to the liquid state. 

c- At 100C° the water starts to change from liquid to vapor state until it disappears.

The isotope 238U, which starts one of the natural radioactive series, decays first by alpha decay followed by two negative beta
Digiron [165]

Answer: The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U} \rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm {Th}+^{4}_{2}n

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow ^{231}_{92}\textrm {Th}+2^{0}_{-1}n

The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}
