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.

Which has a higher kinetic energy an object at 20° C or an object at 50°C
Simora [160]

Answer:

The object at 50°C will have a higher kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. As you introduce more energy into the system (e.g. heat the object), the particles on average move faster because they have more kinetic energy.

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 1.87 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be lethal? Assum
Drupady [299]
2.77mg caffeine / 1oz12oz / 1canLethal dose: 10.0g caffeine = 10,000mg caffeine First, find how much caffeine is in one can of soda, then divide that amount by the lethal dose to find the number of cans. (2.77mg caffeine / 1oz) * (12oz / 1can) = 33.24mg caffeine / 1can. (10,000mg caffeine) * (1can / 33.24mg caffeine) = 300.84 cans. Since we can't buy parts of a can of soda, then we have to round up to 301 cans. Notice how all the values were set up as ratios and how the units cancelled.
