Atomic Mass will be 23 the new magnesium formed will be its isotope of magnesium.

We know that,

In stable condition

Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic number represents number of proton .

So, here number of proton is 12

Therefore, number of electron is 12

We know that -

Atomic mass = number of protons +Number of neutron

So if magnesium loses one neutron i.e. new number of neutron is 11

then its atomic mass changes.

New atomic mass will be

Atomic mass = 12 + 11

Atomic mass = 23

This new element with atomic mass 23 and atomic number 12 is the isotope of magnesium.

krek1111 [17]
Answer is 16
carbon valence = 4
oxygen valence = 6 but carbon dioxide have 2 oxygen so = 12
12 + 4 = 16
so carbon dioxide have 16 electron

A sealed container with liquid water in the bottom was left standing at a constant temperature until the air above the water sur
Julli [10]

Answer:

Saturation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the statement is accounting for the saturation vapor pressure as it is the pressure of a vapor which is in equilibrium with its liquid, in other words it is the maximum exerted pressure possible by the vapor at a given temperature or just the maximum amount of the vapor, so there is neither no more vapor that could condense nor more liquid that could boil.

Best regards.

A sample of gas occupies 9.0 mL at a pressure of 500.0 mm Hg. A new volume of the same sample is at a pressure of 750.0 mm Hg.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).

<h3>Solution:</h3>

              According to Boyle's Law, " <em>The Volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the applied Pressure</em>". Mathematically, the initial and final states of gas are given as,

                                     P₁ V₁  =  P₂ V₂    ----------- (1)

Data Given;

                  P₁  =  500 mmHg

                  V₁  =  9.0 mL

                  P₂  =  750 mmHg

                  V₂  =  ??

Solving equation 1 for V₂,

                   V₂  =  P₁ V₁ / P₂

Putting values,

                   V₂  =  (500 mmHg × 9.0 mL) ÷ 750 mmHg

                   V₂  =  6.0 mL

<h3>Result:</h3>

            The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).
