Boron has an average mass of 10.81. One isotope of boron has a mass of 10.012938 and a relative abundance of 19.80 percent. The

other isotope has a relative abundance of 80.20 percent. What is the mass of the two isotopes?

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)

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?
Lana71 [14]

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Identify the type of solid from the description. Select from the following choices: metallic solid, network solid, molecular sol
scZoUnD [109]

First of all, there are five types of solid materials:  

Metallic solids which are solids composed of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds.

Network solid is a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.

Molecular solid is a solid consisting of discrete molecules.  

Ionic solid is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.  

Amorphous solid is non-crystalline solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.

Now, after the defined all the types of solid materials in the equation lets to solve it.  

A. the answer is the network solids, because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent are typically characterized by hardness, strength, and high melting points.

B. the answer is the metallic solids, due to that heat conduction occurs when a substance is heated and the particles will gain more energy vibrating more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them and in metals this process have a higher probability than in the case of other solids due to the nature of the chemical bonds. It also has a range of hardness due to the strength of metallic bonds which varies dramatically.

C. the answer is the ionic solid; due to positive and negative ions which are  bonded to form a crystalline solid held together by charge attractions.
