13.1 Mass of Li36 lithium isotope, m1 = 6.01512 u

Mass of Li37 lithium isotope, m2 = 7.01600 u

Abundance of Li36 , η1 = 7.5%

Abundance of Li37 , η2 = 92.5%

The atomic mass of lithium atom is given as:

m = m1η1+m2η2η1+η2 = 6.01512*7.5+7.01600*92.57.5+92.5 = 6.940934 u

Mass of B510 Boron isotope, m1 = 10.01294 u

Mass of B511 Boron isotope, m2 = 11.00931 u

Let the abundance of B510 be x % and t
