Jill and Susan violated safety procedures by not properly listening and/or reading over the instructions to know all the materials, steps, and equipment they need for the lab. Hope this helps!
The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Mg(OH)2 compound
Required
The molecular weight
Solution
Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes
Relative molecular weight (M) : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar
M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)
So for Mg(OH)2 :
= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H
= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol
= 24 + 32 + 2
= 58 g/mol
I think because each element has its own number of protons and neutrons, giving it its own atomic number and mass (correct me if I’m wrong please)
