the atomic mass of magnesium is 24 daltons and the atomic number is 12. a. how many electrons does an electrically neutral magne
1 answer:
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 =
Atomic mass = 23
This new element with atomic mass 23 and atomic number 12 is the isotope of magnesium.

In a perfect world without air resistance, the top of the swing would have the most potential energy, but the least amount of kinetic energy. As the pendulum falls down, it gains more kinetic energy as it travels faster due to gravitational acceleration but loses more potential energy as it loses height. The total amount of energy in the system (the sum of kinetic and potential energy) stays the same.
Explanation:
Rate law is defined as the rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants at constant temperature.
= k
where, k = rate constant
n = order of reaction
For the given reaction,
Hence, its rate will be as follows.
Rate =
Also, it is known that slowest step in a chemical reaction is the rate determining step.
Hence, for the given rate law correct reaction is as follows.
Step 1 : (slow)
Balancing this equation it becomes (slow)
Step 2: (fast)
