Answer:

12

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you can see that magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.305.  Subtract the number of protons from this to get neutrons.

24.305 - 12 = 12.305

12.305 is the average amount of neutrons a magnesium atom can have.  A magnesium atom can have 12, 13, or 14 neutrons.  The average, based on the natural abundance, is 12.305.  To find which isotope is more abundant, you need to pick the number that is closest to the average.  This would make the most abundant isotope the one with 12 neutrons.

Answer:

c. benzoic acid

Explanation:

The given reaction is an example of a Grignard reaction:

When chlorobenzene (C₆H₅Cl) reacts with Mg in ether, an intermediate is formed (C₆H₅MgCl).

Said intermediate then reacts with CO₂ producing a benzoic acid salt (C₆H₅CO₂X), this salt is then neutralized with dilute HCl producing benzoic acid (C₆H₅CO₂H).
