<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
An element having atomic number 12 is magnesium and atomic mass of the element is 24.305
The image corresponding will be 
The number '24.305' is the average atomic mass of magnesium element.
Average atomic mass is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

Average atomic mass of magnesium = 24.305 amu
As, the average atomic mass of magnesium lies closer to the mass of Mg-24 isotope. This means that the relative abundance of this isotope is the highest of all the other isotopes.
The 'Mg-24' isotope is the most common isotope of the given element.
Hence, the correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.
<u>Answer:</u> The temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the volume when temperature and pressure has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.
The equation follows:

where,
are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas
are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the temperature to which the gas in the syringe must be heated is 720.5 K
Answer:
A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 86.205%
B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand
Explanation:
A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:
Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g
percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%
percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%
percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%
B. Flow chart of separation procedure
(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand
C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.
<span>Based on the experience of the responder, to correctly calculate measurements in real-world. Firstly is to avoid errors as much as possible. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.</span>
