Answer:

The answer to your question is 24.325

Explanation:

Data

Magnesium-24 Abundance = 78.70%

Magnesium-25 Abundance = 10.13%

Magnesium-26 Abundance = 11.17%

Process

1.- Convert the abundance to decimals

Magnesium-24 Abundance = 78.70/100 = 0.787

Magnesium-25 Abundance = 10.13/100 = 0.1013

Magnesium-26 Abundance = 11.17/100 = 0.1117

2.- Write an equation

Average atomic mass = (Atomic mass-1 x Abundance 1) + (Atomic mass 2 x

Abundance-2) + (Atomic mass 3 x Abundance 3)

3.- Substitution

Average atomic mass = (24 x 0.787) + (25 x 0.1013) + (26 x 0.1117)

4.- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 18.888 + 2.533 + 2.904

5.- Result

Average atomic mass = 24.325

A compound is 57.1% oxygen and the remainder carbon. using oxygen as the standard (16 amu) and assuming a 1:1 atom ratio, calcul

Delicious77 [7]

Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
x = 12.02 amu

An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?

olasank [31]

1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.

2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.

3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2.

4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.

The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4

Explain how the presence of several oxygen atoms ina compound containing an-OH group can make the compound acidic.

Lina20 [59]

In each case, the same bond gets broken - the bond between the hydrogen and oxygen in an -OH group. Writing the rest of the molecule as "X"

The factors to consider

Two of the factors which influence the ionisation of an acid are:

the strength of the bond being broken,the stability of the ions being formed.

In these cases, you seem to be breaking the same oxygen-hydrogen bond each time, and so you might expect the strengths to be similar.

How many electrons are in an Fe2+ ion? (1) 24 (3) 28 (2) 26 (4) 56

fomenos

The answer is (1) 24. There are 26 protons in nucleus of Fe atom. There is 26 electrons in Fe atom. Fe atom loses 2 electrons and change to Fe2+ ion. So there is 24 electrons in Fe2+ ion.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

25 g/hr

Explanation:

Remember that the rate of reaction refers to the rate at which reactants are used up or or the rate at which products appear.

Hence;

Rate of reaction = mass of reactant used up/time taken

Mass of reactant used up= 2g

Time taken = 5 minutes or 0.08 hours

Rate of reaction = 2g/0.08 hours = 25 g/hr
