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 %

What is the order of increasing rate of eusion for the following gases, Ar, CO2, H2, N2?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2

Explanation:

Graham's law explains why some gases efuse faster than others. This is due to the difference i their molar mass. Generally; The rate of effusion of gaseous substances is inversely proportional to the square rot of its molar mass.

This means gases with low molar masses would have higher efusion rate compared to gases with higher molar masses.

So now we just need to compare the molar masses of the various gases;

Ar - 39.95

CO2 - 44.01

H2 - 2

N2 - 28.01

To obtain the order in increasing rate, we have to order the gases in decreasing molar mass. This order of increasing rate is given as;

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2

In the synthesis reaction, the white powder produced is magnesium oxide (mgo, mm = 40.3 g/mol). how many moles of magnesium oxid
gulaghasi [49]
Number of moles = mass of product / molecular mass
=mass of product (MgO) / 40.3

Since the mass of MgO is not given in the question, the correct answer choice cannot be given.  However, proceeding witht eh above formula will enable you to find the correct number of moles given the mass of MgO.
