Atomic weight of boron is `10.81` and it has two isotopes `._5 B^10` and `._5 B^11`. Then ratio of `._5 B^10` in nature would be.

A

`19:81`

B

`10 :11`

C

`15:16`

D

`81:19`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Let % of `B^(10)` atom = x
Average atomic weight `= (10 x+ 11 (100-x))/(100)= 10.81`
`rArr x= 19`
`therefore (""_(5)B^(10))/(""_(5)B^(11))= (19)/(81)`
