Question
Naturally occurring boron is 80.20% boron-11 (atomic mass = 11.01 u) and 19.80% of some other isotopic form of boron. What must the atomic mass of this second isotope be in order to account for the 10.81 u average atomic mass of boron? (Write the answer to two decimal places.) 2
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Naturally occurring boron is 80.20% boron-11 (atomic mass = 11.01 u) and 19.80% of some other isotopic form of boron. What must the atomic mass of this second isotope be in order to account for the 10.81 u average atomic mass of boron? (Write the answer to two decimal places.) 2
From the textbook chapter Standards-Based Assessment you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
