Question

Atomic mass of boron is 10.81 amu. It has two isotopes with 80% and 20% abundance respectively. The atomic mass of one isotope is 11, the mass of other isotope is:
  1. 21.82
  2. 10.81
  3. 11.01
  4. 10.05

A
10.81
B
10.05
C
21.82
D
11.01
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Atomic mass of Boron =10.81
duppose mass of other isotope=m
mass of one isotope =11
11×80%+m×20%=10.81
11×80+m×20100=10.81
880+20m=1081
20 m=1081880=201
m=20120=10.05
