|Decaborane, BH14, was used as a fuel for rockets in the 1950s. It reacts violently with oxygen, O to pro- B.O3 and water. Calculate the percentage by mass of BH14 in a fuel mixture designed to ensure that B1oH14 and O2 run out at exactly the same time |(Such a mixture minimizes the mass of fuel that a rocket must carry.)
