Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.

The abundance of the middle isotope is 10.00%. Estimate the abundances of the other isotopes.

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

Is air an element, compound or mixture? explain your answer
emmainna [20.7K]

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

An unknown metal displaces Ali from solution but does not displace sodium using the activity series determine the unknown metal
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The reactivity of metal is determined by the reactivity series. ... The metal which easily displaced aluminium will lie above in the series but that same element cannot displace sodium, so it will lie below in the series. Hence, from the series, we conclude that the unknown metal could be calcium or magnesium.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

If the reactants have a potential energy of 10.2 kJ/mol and the products have a potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

To calculate the ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction, that is, the heat that accompanies the entire reaction, you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient ( number of molecules of each compound participating in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

Combustion enthalpy = ΔH = ∑H products - ∑Hreactants

In this case:

ΔH = 15.7 kJ/mol - 10.2 kJ/mol= 5.5 kJ/mol

An endothermic reaction is one whose enthalpy value is positive, that is, the system absorbs heat from the environment (ΔH> 0).

<u><em>The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.</em></u>
