Assuming you meant cation and not action, gallium would most likely form a cation because it is a group A element
1) Find the number of mols of HCl in 5.2 liters of 4.0M solution:
n = M*V(L) = 4.0 mol/L * 5.2 L = 20.8 mol
2) Find the number of mols of Mg that will react with 20.8 mol of HCl, using the coefficients of the balanced equation
[1mol Mg / 2 mol HCl] * 20.8 mol HCl = 10.4 mol Mg
3) Transform mol to mass using the atomic mass:
10.4 mol Mg * 24.3 g/mol = 252.7 g of Mg.
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.
Answer:
Everything you can hold, taste, or smell is made of matter. Matter makes up everything you can see, including clothes, water, food, plants, and animals. It even makes up some things you cannot see, such as air or the smell of perfume.
