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.

After a reaction, a new compound contains 0.73 g Mg and 0.28 g N. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: <em>Mg₃N₂</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

What is the natural and human factors that affect climate?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Some of the various things that humans do to the environment is pump CO2 into the air with Fossil Fuels and using Power Plants, Cutting down trees make more CO2 which can make the Earth hotter and cause Global Warming. Some natural things that can tend to affect climate can be changes in Volcanic activity, Solar activity with the sun, and Earth's orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

It may seem crazy how Earth's orbit around the sun make climate change, but how else would 4 seasons exist. The orbit tends to be in an oval shape. The top parts of the oval, would represent winter and fall because of the distance between the sun decreases. The closer sides of the oval however, would represent Summer and spring because those are the warmer months and show that Earth is closer to the sun.
