Boron has two naturally-ocurring isotopes. Boron-10 has an abundance of 19.8% and actual mass of 10.013 amu, and boron-11 has an

abundance of 80.2% and actual mass of 11.009 amu. What is the average atomic mass for all isotopes of boron?

Answer:

10.812  to the nearest thousandth,.

Explanation:

That would be 0.198 * 10.013 + 0.802 * 11.009

= 10.812.

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope, Boron-10: </u>

% = 19.8 %

Mass = 10.013 amu

<u>For second isotope, Boron-11: </u>

% = 80.2 %

Mass = 11.009 amu

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{19.8}{100}\times {10.013}+\frac{80.2}{100}\times {11.009}=1.982574+8.829218=10.811792

<u>Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu</u>

Olenka [21]

Answer:

1034 yrs

Explanation:

The equation to use in this question is:

t = -2.303/k log (A/A₀) where

A=    present number of disintegrations

A₀ =  intial number of disintegrations

k =  decay constant

The decay constant we will obtain it from the given hal-life:

k: 0.693/t₁/₂,        t₁/₂ = half-life   ⇒

k: 0.693 / 5730 y =  1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹

t = - 2.303 / 1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹ x log (13.1/15.3) =  1034 yrs

Answer:

A homogeneous mixture has the same uniform appearance and composition throughout. Many homogeneous mixtures are commonly referred to as solutions. A heterogeneous mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases. The three phases or states of matter are gas, liquid, and solid.

Which statements are correct regarding the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Matter or energy can change from one form to the other

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed i.e. changed from one form to another. For example, mechanical energy can be changed to electrical energy.

Likewise, the law of conservation of mass/matter states that matter can not be destroyed or created but can change via physical or chemical means to conserve it. For example, matter can change from liquid state to gaseous state.

From the above two laws, it can be said that "matter or energy can change from one form to the other".
