There are two naturally occurring isotopes of boron determine the abundance of each isotope

Chemistry

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer : The correct answer is:

The abundance of isotopes can be found out using following formula :

atomic mass of element = ( abundance of isotope 1 * mass of isotope 1 ) + ( abundance of isotope 2 * mass of isotope 2 ) +.....

Boron ( mass = 10.811 u ) has two isotopes : ¹⁰B ( mass = 10.0129 u ) and ¹¹ B ( mass = 11.0093 u )

Sum of abundance of all isotopes = 100%

Lets assume abundance of isotope ¹¹B = x % = 0.01 x , so abundance of isotope ¹⁰B = 100 % - x% = 100/100 - x/100 = 1 - 0.01 x

Plugging values in formula :

10.811 = ( 0.01 x * 11.0093) + [( 1 - 0.01 x) * 10.0129 ]

10.811 = (0.110093 x ) + ( 10.0129 - 0.100129 x )

10.811 - 10.0129 = 0.110093 x - 0.100129 x

0.7981 = 0.009964 x

Dividing both side by 0.00964

0.7981 / 0.009964 = 0.00964 /0.00964 x

x = 82.7 %

Abundance of of isotope ¹¹ B = 82.7 %

Abundance of isotope ¹⁰ B = 100% - x % = 100 %- 82.7 % = 17.3 %

Which of these has a higher hydrogen ion concentration? *
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

pOH = 8.9

Explanation:

pOH+pH = 14

pH= 14- pOH

pOH = 8.9, pH=14-8.9 = 5.1

pOH = 5.5, pH=14-5.5 = 8.5

Than less pH , than more H+ ion concentration.

pH=5.1 <pH=8.5

pH=5.1 is more acidic solution

pH=5.1 or pOH=8.9 has a higher H+ concentration.

What is the law of conservation of energy? a. Energy is created and destroyed. b. Energy is not created but is destroyed. c. Ene
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. The total energy of an isolated system remains conserved. It never gets 0. It changes from one form of energy to other but never vanishes.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "Energy is neither created nor destroyed"
