<h2>Natural Abundance for 10B is 19.60%</h2>

Explanation:

  • The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60%.
  • The natural isotopic abundance of 11B is 80.40%.
  • The isotopic masses of boron are 10.0129 u and 11.009 u respectively.

For calculation of abundance of both the isotopes -

Supposing it was 50/50, the average mass would be 10.5, so to increase the mass we need a more percentage of 11.

Determining it as an equation -

10x + 11y= 10.8

x+y=1 (ratio)

10x + 10y = 10

By taking the denominator away from the numerator

we get;

y = 0.8

x + y = 1

∴ x = 0.2

To get percentages  we need to multiply it by 100

So, the calculated abundance is 80% for 11 B and 20% 10  B.

How Do Glow Sticks Glow? Explain in 5-6 sentences. IF NOT, YOUR ANSWER WILL BE DELETED​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

All liquid glow products depend on a chemical process known as CHEMILUMINESCENCE to produce their light. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light. To produce this light the electrons in the chemicals become excited and rise to a higher energy level.To utilise this process glowsticks contain two liquids; hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl alcohol. When mixed together it is these liquids that create the glow. Fluorescent dyes are also used in the alcohol to alter the colour of the light emitted. Chemiluminesence is a chemical reaction that causes a release of energy in the form of light.

HELP 20 POINTS <br>A photon has a wavelength of 366 nm. What is the frequency of this photon?​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

9.  8.2x10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength λ = 366 nm

Formula: Frequency = C / λ

To find the wavelength in m,

1 nm = 1.0x10⁻⁹ m

So, 366 nm = ?

= 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 3.0x10⁸m.s-1 / 3.66x10⁻⁷ m

                  = 8.2x10¹⁴ s-1

If I had 3.50 x 10 24molecules of Cl2 gas, how many grams is this?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

412 g Cl₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 3.50 × 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂

[Solve] grams Cl₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl₂ - 2(35.45) = 70.9 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 3.50 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ Cl_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ Cl_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ Cl_2})(\frac{70.9 \ g \ Cl_2}{1 \ mol \ Cl_2})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                           \displaystyle 412.072 \ g \ Cl_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

412.072 g Cl₂ ≈ 412 g Cl₂

How would a disease that damages the nucleus most directly affect the functioning of cells?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Hereditary information in the cell would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The nucleus can be defined as a membrane bound organelle that is found in eukaryotic cells. The main function of the nucleus is that it controls all activities that is related to the growth of the cell and also reproduction. The nucleus contains the cell hereditary information(DNA).

The nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell, It can sometimes be referred to as the brain of the cell. Therefore any health related condition that affects the nucleus would directly destroy all hereditary information that is stored in the cell.
