Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

               Atomic mass               Abundance

Mg -24 =    23.9850                         79%

Mg -25 =    24.9858                         10%  

Mg - 26=          ?                                  ?

Process

1.- Find the abundance of Mg-26

The sum of the abundance of the three isotopes equals 100%

         

 Abundance Mg-24 + Abundance-Mg-25 + Abundance-26 = 100

            79 + 10 + Abundance-26 = 100

            Abundance Mg-26 = 100 -89

           Abundance Mg-26 = 11%

2.- Find the atomic mass of Mg-26, the average atomic mass is 24.31 amu

Average atomic mass = (abundance)(atomic mass- 24) + (abundance)

                                         (atomic mass-25) + (abundance)(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = (0.79)(23.9850)+ (0.10)(24.9858) + (Atomic mass-26)(0.11)

    24.31 = 18.94815 + 2.4986 + 0.11(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = 21.4342 + 0.11(atomic mass- 26)

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 24.31 - 21.4342

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 2.8758

    Atomic mass-26 = 2.8758/0.11

 <u>   Atomic mass-26 = 26.1436 amu</u>

Answer:

The atomic mass of Mg-26 is 25.9843 amu and has a natural abundance of 11%

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Isotopes of Magnesium:

⇒ Mg - 24 = 23.9850 amu ⇒ 79 %

⇒ Mg - 25 = 24.9858 amu ⇒ 10%

⇒ Mg - 26 = ? amu ⇒ 11 %

atomic mass of magnesium = 24.305 amu

0.79 * 23.9850 + 0.10 * 24.9858 + 0.11 * x = 24.305

18.94815 + 2.49858 +0.11x =24.305

0.11x = 2.85827

x = 25.9843 amu

The atomic mass of Mg-26 is 25.9843 amu and has a natural abundance of 11%

Iron sulfide is a compound. It is made by heating a mixture of iron and sulfur.
lara [203]

Answer:

Here are some of the differences between a mixture of iron and sulfur, and iron sulfide: the mixture can contain more or less iron, but iron sulfide always contains equal amounts of iron and sulfur. the iron and sulfur atoms are not joined together in the mixture, but they are joined together in iron sulfide.

A reaction produces 74.10 g Ca(OH)2 after 56.08 g CaO is added to 36.04 g H2O. How should the difference in the masses of reacta
melomori [17]
Cao +  H2O  ---->Ca(OH)2
Calculate   the  number  of  each   reactant  and  the  moles  of  the  product
that  is
moles = mass/molar mass
The  moles  of  CaO=  56.08g/  56.08g/mol(molar  mass  of  Cao)=  1mole
the  moles  of  water=  36.04 g/18  g/mol=  2.002moles
The   moles  of Ca (OH)2=74.10g/74.093g/mol= 1mole

 The  mass  of differences  of  reactant  and  product  can   be  therefore 
 explained  as 
 1  mole   of  Cao  reacted  completely   with   1  mole   H2O  to  produce  1 mole  of  Ca(OH)2. The  mass  of  water   was  in  excess  while  that  of  CaO  was  limited

A change in the core would have the greatest effect on what?
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>The magnetic field of the Earth serves a useful purpose in deflecting Solar radiation. Without the magnetic field there is much more charged-particle radiation striking the surface. The auroras would occur everywhere instead of at the magnetic poles. Compass needles wouldn't work, and then they would flip direction.. The magnetic field IS DECREASING and could go to zero and reverse sometime in the next few tens-of-thousands of years.</span>

C2h4 3 o2 2 co2 2 h2o
Marat540 [252]
Use the question marck Moles of CO2
The the giving = 0.624 mol O2
Find the CF faction = 1 mole=  32.00 of O2

O= 2x16.00= 32.00amu ( writte this in the cf fraction)
SET UP THE CHART
Always start with the giving

0.624 mol O2    /  1mol of CO2
___________  / _____________ = Cancel the queal ( O2)
                       / 32.00c O2
                      /
                     /
Multiply the top and divide by the bottom 
0.624 mol CO x 1mol CO2 = 0.624 divide by 32.00 O2 =0.0195
You should look at the giving number ( how many num u gor ever there) 
Ur answer should have the same # as ur givin so 
= 0.0195 
= .0195 mol of CO2
