Naturally occuring boron has two isotope...

Naturally occuring boron has two isotopes of masses 10 amu and 11 amu. Calculate the percentage of each isotope if the average atomic mass of boron is `10.2`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let x be the fraction of `""^10B` isotope and `(1-x)` that of `""^11B` isotope, then, `(x)10+(1-x)11=10.2`
Fraction of `""^10B` isotope, `x=0.8 (" or "80%)` and fraction of `"^11B` isotope, `(1-x)=0.2(" or "20%)`.
