Answer 1) To find the hybridization of carbon we need to draw the lewis structure first; which is attached in the answer.

So the formula for finding hybridization is 
Lone pairs + Bonding pairs = hybridisation.

Here, in the molecule of methionine Carbon is bonded to all 4 atoms and has got no lone pairs so we will have;

0 + 4 = 4 which means it is sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 2) For oxygen we can see in the lewis structure that it is having 2 lone pairs and double bonded with carbon atom, also there is another oxygen atom with two lone pair but bonded with carbon and hydrogen at the end.

So, in both the cases we can calculate;

where 2 lone pairs are present  
2 + 2 = 4 so, it will be sp^{3} hybridized.

So, Oxygen is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 3) Nitrogen present in the methionine is bonded to carbon atom and hydrogen atoms and has only one lone pair on it.

So when we are substituting this in the formula we get 1 + 3 = 4;

which means 1 lone pair and 3 bond pairs so, it is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 4) Sulfur atom in methionine is bonded to two carbon atoms forming a linear structure with 2 lone pairs on it.

So, it has 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs,

hence the hybridization will be  sp^{3} hybridized. 

As, 2 + 2 = 4 which means it is  sp^{3} hybridized.

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

To learn more about mass, refer to the below link:
