The atomic mass would not change since the mass of an electron is negligible compared to the mass of protons and neutrons
Answer:
A. a magnet
Explanation:
Iron fillings could be separated from sand using a magnet
<span>The two techniques for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid are filtration and centrifuging. Filtration relies on the fact that the solid particles are smaller than the filter paper pores which allow the tiny molecules of liquid to pass through. With solids which dissolve in a liquid solvent, evaporation is commonly used to recover the solid and distillation is used to recover the solvent.</span>
The law of conservation of mass dictates that the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus:
mass(MgO) = mass(Mg) + mass(O)
mass(MgO) = 24 + 16
mass(MgO) = 40 g
The third option is correct.
