Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of
1 answer:
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 :

Explanation:
According to the Beer-lambert' s law,
Absrobance = absrobptitvity × lenght × concentration
So, if we will plot a graph between absrobance and concentration then we will obtain a straight line
Hence, formula to calculate slope of the graph is as follows.
The slope of graph =
The given data is as follows.
= 0.412 (first point)
= 0.642 (second point)
= 0.240 ppm (first point)
= 0.475 ppm (second point)
Hence, putting these values into the above formula we will calculate the value of slope as follows.
Slope =
=
=
= 0.978
It is known that for the graph, line equation can be written as follows.
y = mx + c ........... (1)
where, C = intercept
m = slope
Hence, calculate the value of intercept as follows.
0.412 = + c
c = 0.178
As it is given that the absorbance values 0.454 (the y-axis value). Therefore, putting this value into equation (1) we get the following.
y = mx + c
0.454 = + 0.178
0.276 = 0.978x
x = 0.282 ppm
Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of Pb in the given sample is 0.282 ppm.
