Boron has primarily two isotopes, one with an atomic mass of 11.0 amu and another with an atomic mass of 10.0 amu. If the abunda

nce of the boron atom with a mass of 11.0 amu is 18.9 percent and the abundance of the other isotope is 81.1 percent, what would be the atomic mass of the boron atom

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>

  • <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
  • <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

                                                 = 2.035 + 8.1

                                                 = 10.135

Which of the following bases are strong enough to deprotonate CH3CH2CH2C≡CH (pKa = 25), so that equilibrium favors the products?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

a, and f.

Explanation:

To be deprotonated, the conjugate acid of the base must be weaker than the acid that will react, because the reactions favor the formation of the weakest acid. The pKa value measures the strength of the acid. As higher is the pKa value, as weak is the acid. So, let's identify the conjugate acid and their pKas:

a. NaNH2 will dissociate, and NH2 will gain the proton and forms NH3 as conjugate acid. pKa = 38.0, so it happens.

b. NaOH will dissociate, and OH will gain the proton and forms H2O as conjugate acid. pKa = 14.0, so it doesn't happen.

c. NaC≡N will dissociate, and CN will gain a proton and forms HCN as conjugate acid. pKa = 9.40, so it doesn't happen.

d. NaCH2(CO)N(CH3)2 will dissociate and forms CH3(CO)N(CH3)2 as conjugate acid. pKa = -0.19, so it doesn't happen.

e. H2O must gain one proton and forms H3O+. pKa = -1.7, so it doesn't happen.

f. CH3CH2Li will dissociate, and the acid will be CH3CH3. pKa = 50, so it happens.

When 4.5 mol al react with 11.5 mol hcl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of h2 can be formed?
ahrayia [7]
1°/ . 2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2 

<span>k1 = n(Al) / 2 = 4,5 / 2 = 2,25 </span>
<span>k2 = n(HCl) / 6 = 11,5 / 6= 1,92 </span>

<span>k2 < k1 ==> HCl is the limiting reactant </span>

<span>6 mol of HCl ---> 2 mol of H2 </span>
<span>11,5 mol of HCl ---> 3,83 mol of H2 </span>
