Answer:
Mg²⁵ = 10.00%
Mg²⁶ = 45.04%
Mg²⁴ = 44.96%
Explanation:
Given data:
Atomic mass of Mg²⁶ = 25.983
Atomic mass of Mg²⁵ = 24.986
Atomic mass of Mg²⁴ = 23.985
Abundance of Mg²⁵ = 10.00%
Abundance of Mg²⁶ = ?
Abundance of Mg²⁴ = ?
Solution:
Average atomic weight of Mg = 25.983 + 24.986+ 23.985 / 3
Average atomic weight of Mg = 74.954/3
Average atomic weight of Mg = 24.985 amu
Abundance of
Mg²⁵ = 10.00
Mg²⁶ = x
Mg²⁴ = 100- 10 - x = 90 -x
Formula:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
24.985 = (0.1×24.986)+(90-x×23.985) + ( x ×25.983 ) /100
24.985 = 249.86 + 2158.65 - 23.985x + 25.983x / 100
24.985 = 2408.51 + 1.998 x / 100
2498.5 = 2408.51 + 1.998 x
1.998 x = 2498.5 - 2408.51
1.998 x = 89.99
x = 89.99 /1.998
x = 45.04
Now we put the value of x:
Mg²⁵ = 10.00
Mg²⁶ = x (45.04)
Mg²⁴ = 90 -x (90 - 45.04 = 44.96)
It has the most mass. but the electron cloud takes up the most space.
Answer:
136
Explanation:
The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136
Mezoic era began 252m years ago and ended 6.6m years ago.
It was a time of geological and biological transition. During this era the continents began to drift to their present configuration.
3 of the largest mass extinction occurred at this era. One which include the dinosaurs.
I hope this helped. :)
