Answer:

The most abundant isotope is 1.007 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Average atomic mass = 1.008 amu

Mass of first isotope = 1.007 amu

Mass of 2nd isotope = 2.014 amu

Most abundant isotope = ?

Solution:

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass  2.014 amu

1-x for isotopes having mass 1.007 amu

The average atomic mass is 1.008 amu

we will use the following equation,

2.014x + 1.007  (1-x) = 1.008  

2.014x + 1.007  - 1.007 x = 1.008  

2.014x - 1.007x  =  1.008  -  1.007

1.007 x = 0.001

x= 0.001/ 1.007

x= 0.0009

0.0009 × 100 = 0.09 %

0.09 % is abundance of isotope having mass  2.014 amu because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of second isotope.

(1-x)

1-0.0009 = 0.9991

0.9991 × 100= 99.91%

Can the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen change if a solute is dissolved in the water
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Water molecules feature the combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a 2:1 ratio. Since they are present in a fixed ratio of mass, water molecules obey the law of constant proportions. Water is formed when two molecules of the diatomic hydrogen gas, combine with one molecule of the diatomic oxygen gas to produce two molecules of water

Which of these illustration shows isotopes of the elements boron b
Delvig [45]
The isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Boron atomic number is 5. That is the number of protons.

The natural occurring isotopes of boron contain 5 or 6 neutrons. Other, non stable isotopes, contain from 1 to 16 neutrons.
