The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:
average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ... an so on
For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:
average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)
We plug in the values:
10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020
mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975
mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)
Answer: D, hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule of water ruptures one or more chemical bonds. The term is used broadly for substitution, elimination, and fragmentation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.
Answer:
C. Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, followed by Tin at 1.96, Silicon at 1.90 and the least electronegative would be Lead at 1.87.
