1. Calculate the % relative abundance of B-10 and B-11, if its average atomic mass is 10.804 amu.
 
Answer:
 
Let the % of the isotope B-10=x

Then, the % of the isotope B-11=100-x
 
Averageatomicmass=10×x+11100x10010.804=A10010.804=B100x=?
 
Where,
 
A =
 
B =
 
x =
 
% abundance of B-10= 

% abundance of B-11=
 
2. Calculate the percentage of oxygen in Al_2(SO_4)_3 (atomic mass: Al=27, O=16, S=32).
 
Answer:
 
Given data:
 
Atomic masses:
 
Al=27, O=16, S=32
 
Formula:
 
The formula to find the percentage of an element is
 
\frac{\text{X}}{\text{Y}}\times100
 
Where,
 
X =
 
Y =
 
Solution:
 
Molecular mass of Al_2(SO_4)_3 =
 
% of O in Al_2(SO_4)_3 =
