The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. naturally occurring boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses (10b, 10.0129 amu and 11b, 11.0931 amu). the actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.819, depending on whether the mineral source is from turkey or the united states. calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.

Explanation:
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
Let the fractional abundance of B-10 isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of B-11 isotope will be '1 - x'
For B-10 isotope:
Mass of B-10 isotope = 10.0129 amu
For Li-7 isotope:
Mass of B-11 isotope = 11.0931 amu
1) Average atomic mass of boron = 10.807 amu
x= 0.2648
The percent abundances B-10 isotope = 0.2648 × 100 =26.48%
The percent abundances B-11 isotope = 100% - 26.48% =73.51%
2) Average atomic mass of boron = 10.819 amu
x= 0.2537
The percent abundances B-10 isotope = 0.2537 × 100 =25.37%
The percent abundances B-11 isotope = 100% - 25.37% =74.63%
