The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

What happens to the rate of diffusion when pressure of gas is increased?​
luda_lava [24]

In general, the diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to pressure. This is also an observed fact: gas production rates from coal seams tend to increase as the reservoir pressure goes down.

You discover a piece of jewelry that you think might be made of silver. You place the item on a balance and determine that it ha
Amanda [17]

No, this item is not made of pure silver because if it has been made from pure silver that it would have displaced only 1.16cm³ of water but due to the addition of some other low-density element it displaces 1.9cm³ of water.

<u>For pure silver</u>

density of pure silver is = 10.49 g/cm³

mass of silver = 12.2 gram

since, density = mass/volume

          volume = mass/density

                        = 12.2/10.49 cm³

                         = 1.16 cm³

But the actual displaced water is <u>1.9cm³</u>, which means some other element of lower density has been added.

Therefore, it is clear that the given jewelry is not made of pure silver.
