Variations in average atomic mass may be observed for elements obtained from different sources. Boron consists of two isotopes, 108100129 amu) and B (11.0931 amu). It was found that boron sourced from minerals in Turkey have a natural abundance of 26.40% for 8. When boron is sourced from the United States, the natural abundance of 18 is 25.40%. What is average atomic mass of boron from Turkey and the United States?
