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)

Provide background information about different types of chemical reactions.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

-Synthesis reactions are reactions that appear when two distinct atoms or molecules engage to structure a specific molecule or compound. Most of the time, when a synthesis response occurs, electricity is launched and the response is exothermic. However, an endothermic consequence is additionally possible.

-A decomposition response starts offevolved from a single substance and produces extra than one substance; that is, it decomposes. One substance as a reactant and greater than one substance as the merchandise is the key attribute of a decomposition reaction. For example, in the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate (also recognized as sodium bicarbonate)

-A single-replacement response (sometimes referred to as a single-displacement reaction) is a chemical response in which one aspect is substituted for every other factor in a compound, producing a new aspect and a new compound as merchandise

-A double-replacement response (sometimes referred to as a double-displacement reaction) takes place when components of two ionic compounds are exchanged, making two new compounds. A attribute of a double-replacement equation is that there are two compounds as reactants and two distinctive compounds as product

-A combustion response happens when a reactant combines with oxygen, many instances from the atmosphere, to produce oxides of all different factors as products; any nitrogen in the reactant is transformed to elemental nitrogen, N2. Many reactants, referred to as fuels, incorporate normally carbon and hydrogen atoms, reacting with oxygen to produce CO2 and H2O

Kay [80]

Answer: Chemical change

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance. The change can be reversed using physical methods.

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state. The change can only be reversed using chemical methods.

Thus when iron and sulfur are heated in a test tube, the chemical change occurs and thus lead to formation of new substances which could not be separated using magnet.
