Naturally occurring magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.312 and consists of three isotopes. The major isotope is Mg24, natural ab

undance 78.99%, relative atomic mass 23.98504. The next most abundant isotope is Mg26, relative atomic mass 25.98259. The third most abundant isotope is Mg25 whose natural abundance is in the ratio of 0.9083 to that of Mg26. Find the relative atomic mass of Mg25.

Answer:

25.05533 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ third\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ third\ isotope})

The % of Mg 24 = 78.99 %

Let the % of Mg 26 = x %

The % of Mg 25 = 0.9083 x%

Thus, 78.99 + x + 0.9083 x = 100

x = 11.01 %

% of Mg 25 = 10 %

Given that:

For first isotope:

% = 78.99 %

Mass = 23.98504 amu

For second isotope:

% = 11.01 %

Mass = 25.98259 amu

For third isotope:

% = 10 %

Mass = A amu

Average mass = 24.312 amu

Thus,  24.312=\frac{78.99}{100}\times \:23.98504+\frac{11.01}{100}\times \:25.98259+\frac{10}{100}\times \:A

A = 25.05533 amu

A chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound is called a
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A chemical reaction in which an uncombined element replaces an element that is part of a compound is called a simple substitution reaction or simple displacement reaction.

Explanation:

A simple substitution reaction or simple displacement reaction, called single-displacement reaction, is a reaction in which an element of a compound is substituted by another element involved in the reaction. The starting materials are always pure elements and an aqueous compound. And a new pure aqueous compound and a different pure element are generated as products. The general form of a simple substitution reaction is:

AB + C → A +BC

where C and A are pure elements; C replaces A within compound AB to form a new co, placed CB and elementary A.

So, in a Single replacement reaction an uncombined element replaces an element.

What do you think might be different between fat molecules and carbohydrate and protein molecules?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Long answer

Proteins are the building blocks of the body, each and every organ muscle and skin and cells are made of proteins. They can also be used for providing energy to the body in a state where other energy sources aren't available.

Fats are stored energy blocks which can be used by the body at its own convenience whenever there is a deficit of energy in the body. They can also be directly burnt to give energy in cases where energy needs of the body are not met by dietary intake

Carbohydrates are the most convenient and preferable source of energy in the body and are easily converted to give out immidiate energy to the body, excess carbohydrates can be converted into fats and stored for later usage as and when required by the body.

Proteins, fats and carbohydrates have many secondary functions and roles in the human body. If you are keen to know anything more specific feel free to ask.

<h3>Short answer :</h3>

Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids. Protein can also be used for energy, but the first job is to help with making hormones, muscle, and other proteins.

Why is it easier to find the mass of a large object then a small object?
atroni [7]
Because lager objects have much more room for mass the smaller objects. take the earth as an example the earth is very big and has alot of mass in it which makes gravity that pulls us down when we jump up.
