Question

Solve problem:

The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60% and 11B is 80.40 %. The exact isotopic masses are 10.13 and 11.009 respectively. Calculate the average atomic mass of boron

Sum

Solution

Average atomic mass of Boron (B)
`=(("At. mass of"  ""^10"B"xx%"Abundance")+("At. mass of"  ""^11"B"xx%"Abundance"))/100`

= `((10.13  "u"xx19.60)+(11.009  "u"xx80.40))/100`

= 10.84 u

Average atomic mass of boron = 10.84 u
