Magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.3. there are two isotopes of magnesium - one contains 12 neutrons and the other contains 13 n

eutrons in the nucleus. what is the fractional abundance of the one that contains 12 neutrons?

So what we know:
-Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
-Atomic Number is the number of protons

Magnesium's atomic number is 12, so the natural occurring isotope for magnesium is Mg-12 (12 protons and 12 neutrons). Added up we have an atomic mass of 24 amu. Which means if we added one neutron in Mg-13, our atomic mass would be 25 amu.

We can use the equation:
(amu of isotope 1)x + (amu of isotop 2)(x-1) = Average atomic mass
where isotope 1 is the fractional abundance we're solving for.

Plugged in it looks like this:
24x + 25(1-x) = 24.3

Now to solve for x:
24x + 25 - 25x = 24.3
   -x + 25 = 24.3
        -x = -.7
         x = .7

So in this case, the fractional abundance of Mg-12 would be .7, or 70%.<span />

Aly's science class was looking at bacteria through a microscope. Aly's teacher said some bacteria can be as small as 0.00365 cm
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

0.00365\ cm=3.65\times 10^{-3}\ cm

Explanation:

Aly's teacher said some bacteria can be as small as 0.00365 cm long.

In this problem, we need to write the length of the bacteria written in scientific notation. Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as follows :

N=a\times 10^b

a is a real no and b is an integer

In the given number, there are two zeroes before 3. We need to shift the decimal after 3. It can be done as follows :

0.00365\ cm=3.65\times 10^{-3}\ cm

Hence, this is the required solution.

If 60 ml of naoh solution neutralizes 40 ml of 0.50 m h2so4, the concentration of the naoh solution is most nearly:
Bad White [126]
<span>The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

2NaOH (aq)+H2SO4 (aq) → Na2SO4 (aq)+2H2O (l)

According to question, 60 ml of NaOH solution was used for neutralizing 40 ml of 0.50M H2SO4.

The no. of moles of H2SO4 is calculated using the equation:
mol solute = (molarity) (L soln)

mol H2SO4 = 0.50 M x 0.040 L = 0.02 moles of H2SO4

As per the equation, the number of moles of NaOH used is:

0.02 moles of H2SO4 (2 mol NaOH) (1 mol H2SO4) = 0.04 moles of NaOH

Therefore, using the given volume of NaOH, the concentration or molarity of NaOH can be calculated using the formula :

Molarity = mol solute/L soln = 0.04 mol NaOH/0.06 L = 0.67 M

Therefore, the concentration of NaOH is 0.67 M.</span>

Answer:

Fluorine is a <em>non-metal, fills its shell by gaining one electron </em>and<em> becomes a negatively charged ion.</em>

Explanation:

Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell. This means that fluorine is located in Group 17(<em>Halogens</em>) in the Periodic Table. Note that halogens are non-metal elements. So fluorine is a non-metal.

Fluorine fills its shell by gaining one electron because it only needs one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. ( it's easier to gain one electron than to lose all seven electrons in the outermost shell)

As fluorine atom gain one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement, its number of electrons becomes greater than its number of protons. So it becomes a negatively charged ion.

At the end of β-oxidation all carbons of a fatty acid are released in the form of
user100 [1]

Answer:

ACETYL-CoA, FADH

2  NADH  

 acetyl-CoA

Explanation: Beta oxidation of carbons of fatty acid acid molecules leads to the formation Acetyl-CoA, FADH and NADH.

The overall reaction for the process

Cn-acyl-CoA + FAD + NAD+

+ H

2O + CoA → Cn-2-acyl-CoA + FADH

2 + NADH + H+

+ acetyl-CoA.

formula of NADH is C21H27N7O14P2

formula of FADH is ‎C27H35N9O15P2.

Both NADH(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FADH( Flavin adenine dinucleotide) are

formular for Acetyl CoA IS C23H38N7O17P3S.

Beta oxidation is a breakdown process taking place in living systems which catabolises the fatty acids through glycolysis or fermentation leading to the release of Acetyl CoA, NADH AND FADH2.
