boron has two naturally occurring isotopes: boron -10 (abundance = 19.8% , mass = 10.013 amu) boron -11 (abundance = 80.2%, mass= 11.009 amu) Calculate th eatomic mass of boron

Step-by-step explanation:

eam=%abudance×mass+%abudance×mass

eam=19.8%×10.013/100+80.2%×11.009/100

eam=198.2574/100+882.9218/100

eam=1081.1792/100

eam=10.811792

eam=10.812
