According to google, to determine the number of neutrons in atom, we only have to subtract the number of protons from the mass number. the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons. And the number of particles present in the nucleus is referred as mass number (Also, called as atomic mass).

So, to determine the number of neutrons in atom, we only have to subtract the number of protons from the mass number. Take note that the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons. And the number of particles present in the nucleus is referred as mass number (Also, called as atomic mass).

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 23.99 amuamu, 24.99 amuamu, and 25.98 amuamu and natural abundan
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

24.309 g/mol

Explanation:

To get the atomic mass, all we have to do is calculate with the masses of the three isotope, the real quantity present, taking account of the percent and then, do a sum of these three values. Like a pondered media.

For the first isotope:

23.99 * (78.99/100) = 18.95 g/mol

For the second isotope:

24.99 * (10/100) = 2.499 g/mol

For the last isotope:

25.98 * (11.01/100) = 2.86 g/mol

Now, let's sum all three together

AW = 18.95 + 2.499 + 2.86

AW = 24.309 g/mol

Based on the law of conservation of matter, describe the relationship between the mass of the recants, and the mass of the produ
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

What do the rows of the periodic table indicate?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The rows on the periodic table are called periods. All the elements in a period have valence electrons in the same shell. The number of valence electrons increases from left to right in the period. When the shell is full, a new row is started and the process repeats.
