Elements occur naturally in different forms called isotopes. These are the same atoms with the same number of protons but has different number of neutrons. Almost all elements exist in nature as such. The amounts of these isotopes are expressed in terms of percent abundances and since it is in a percentage units, the sum of all the abundances should equate to 100 percent or else the calculation is wrong. This is not true onlt for magnesiun but with all of the elements. The atomic mass of these elements also depends on the percent abundances of the isotopes since it is a weighted average value of the individual masses of the isotopes.

Answer:

All magnesium is divided in abundances.

Explanation:

So the amount of magnesium that exists in the planet is finite, we have a 100% of magnesium, now as you know there are different isotopes that exists and when you divide that 100% in the different isotopes. it is logical that the sum of all the different abundances of magnesium is equal to the initial 100%.

N a football game, two players tackle each other so hard that they both fly in opposite directions after they hit each other. �W
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law stipulates that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when the two players are tackling they exert a force on each other.

If player 1 tackles (exerts a force) player 2,  player 2 will exert an equal and opposite reaction on player 1 as stated in Newton's Third Law.

Therefore when they tackle each other so hard they both experience reaction forces so powerful that they fly in opposite directions.

Thus this is an example of the Newton's Third Law.

How many grams of iron (density = 7.87 g/mL ) would occupy the same volume as 96.4 g of aluminum (density = 2.70 g/mL)?
jasenka [17]
Volume of Al:

D = m / V

2.70  =  96.4 / V

V = 96.4 / 2.70 => 35.70 mL

Mass of iron:

D = m / V

7.87 = m / 35.70

m = 7.87 x 35.70 => 280.959 g

hope this helps!

How many grams of an 8% w/w progesterone gel must be mixed with 1.45 g of a 4% w/w progesterone gel to prepare a 5.5% w/w gel?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 0.87 g of an 8% w/w progesterone gel must be mixed with 1.45 g of a 4% w/w progesterone gel to prepare a 5.5% w/w gel.

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

C_1w_1+C_2w_2=C_3w_3

where,

C_1 = concentration of ist progesterone gel = 8%w/w

w_1 = weight of ist progesterone gel  = x g

C_2 = concentration of another progesterone gel  = 4% w/w

w_2 = weight of another progesterone gel = 1.45 g

C_3 = concentration of resulting progesterone gel  = 5.5%w/w

w_3 = weight of resulting progesterone gel  = (x+1.45) g

8\times x+4\times 1.45=5.5\times (x+1.45)

x=0.87

Thus 0.87 g of an 8% w/w progesterone gel must be mixed with 1.45 g of a 4% w/w progesterone gel to prepare a 5.5% w/w gel.

What is the hydroxide [OH-] concentration of a solution that has a pOH of 4.90? 14 14 1.26 x10-5 1.26 x10, -5 9.1 9.1 7.94 x 104
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The hydroxide [OH-] concentration of the solution is 1.26*10⁻⁵ M.

Explanation:

The pOH (or potential OH) is a measure of the basicity or alkalinity of a solution.

POH indicates the concentration of hydroxyl ions [OH-] present in a solution and is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of hydroxide ions (that is, the concentration of OH- ions):

pOH= -log [OH-]

A solution has a pOH of 4.90. Replacing in the definition of pOH:

4.90= -log [OH-]

Solving:

-4.90= log [OH-]

1.26*10⁻⁵ M= [OH-]

<u><em>The hydroxide [OH-] concentration of the solution is 1.26*10⁻⁵ M.</em></u>
