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)

How many moles of LiOH are needed to react completely with 25.5 g of CO2
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

3.18 mol

Explanation:

2LiOH+CO_{2}-> Li_{2}CO_{3} +H_{2}O

n(CO2) = mass/ Mr.

             = 25.5 / 16

             = 1.59 mol

As per the equation above,

n(LiOH) : n(CO2)

     2      :    1

∴  3.18   :  1.59

Which of the following sets of elements could replace the generic "X" symbol with their own to produce a valid dot notation for
inessss [21]

Symbol  "X" represents Nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic.as they have five valence electrons in their valance shell.

<h3>What is a Lewis notation?</h3>

A Lewis form is a completely simplified illustration of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. it's miles used to expose how the electrons are organized round man or woman atoms in a molecule. Electrons are proven as dots or for bonding electrons as a line between the 2 atoms.

Lewis systems, also known as electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that can exist within the molecule.A Lewis form is based totally at the idea of the octet rule, wherein atoms percentage electrons in order that every atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. for example, an oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer shell.

Which theory describes the motion of and force driving earth’s plates?
swat32

The theory that describes the motion and force driving earth's plates is Plate tectonics

Explanation:

Plate tectonics states that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into plates that glide and move over the mantle which is the surface of the earth.

The mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core of the Earth.

Plate tectonics helped the geologists to explain how continents could move around the planet.

There are 9 major plate tectonics , namely North American, Pacific, Eurasian, Australian, African, Indo - Australian,Indian South American and Antarctic. These plates have been named after the land form found on them.
