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

How many grams of oxygen gas will be produced when 2.50 moles of potassium chlorate is decomposed?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

We can see a 2:3 mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen (molar mass 32.0 g/mol), thus, via stoichiometry, we compute the mass of oxygen that are produced by the decomposition of 2.50 moles of this reactant:

m_{O_2}=2.50molKClO_3*\frac{3molO_2}{2molKClO_3} *\frac{32.0gO_2}{1molO_2}\\\\m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Best regards!

The rate constant for this second‑order reaction is 0.610 M − 1 ⋅ s − 1 0.610 M−1⋅s−1 at 300 ∘ C. 300 ∘C. A ⟶ products A⟶product
Darya [45]

Answer: It takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

Explanation:

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

k = rate constant = 0.610M^{-1}s^{-1}

a_0 = initial concentration = 0.860 M

a= concentration left after time t = 0.260 M

\frac{1}{0.260}=0.860\times t+\frac{1}{0.860}

t=3.120s

Thus it takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

How do the Earth and Moon compare in terms of gravitational force?
AleksAgata [21]
C. Earth's gravitational force is stronger than the Moon's.

Since Earth has a far larger mass than the Moon, its gravitational force is also higher.
