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 />

Differentbetween sound and vibration​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Both are similar concepts.

Sound is the vibration of air particles (compression and expansion) the can reach your ears. But you can have vibration being propagated in liquids and solids as well.

Some sounds are generated in structures, so the vibration of a structure is converted to sound in air — for instance, a loudspeaker.

12.<br> An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s
