Answer:

Relative atomic mass of magnesium is 24.3

Explanation:

The relative atomic mass (R. A. M) of an element which exhibits isotopy is the average mass of its various isotopes as they occur naturally in any quantity of the element.

To calculate the relative atomic mass, multiply the percentage value of each with its corresponding mass and add the values together.

R. A. M = ( 78.99/100 * 23.99) + (10/100 * 24.99) + (11.01/100 * 25.98)

R. A. M = 18.949701 + 2.499 + 2.860398

R. A. M = 24.30099

R. A. M = ~ 24.3

Answer:

24.309 g/mol

Explanation:

To get the atomic mass, all we have to do is calculate with the masses of the three isotope, the real quantity present, taking account of the percent and then, do a sum of these three values. Like a pondered media.

For the first isotope:

23.99 * (78.99/100) = 18.95 g/mol

For the second isotope:

24.99 * (10/100) = 2.499 g/mol

For the last isotope:

25.98 * (11.01/100) = 2.86 g/mol

Now, let's sum all three together

AW = 18.95 + 2.499 + 2.86

AW = 24.309 g/mol

Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f for Li2SO4. Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f fo
Deffense [45]

Answer:

2Li(s) + ⅛S₈(s, rhombic) + 2O₂(g) → Li₂SO₄(s)  

Explanation:

A thermochemical equation must show the formation of 1 mol of a substance from its elements in their most stable state,.

The only equation that meets those conditions is the last one.

A and B are wrong , because they show Li₂SO₄ as a reactant, not a product.

C is wrong because Li⁺ and SO₄²⁻ are not elements.

D is wrong because it shows the formation of 8 mol of Li₂SO₄.

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit
ser-zykov [4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

<u>For b:</u> The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

\rho = density = 10.28g/cm^3

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2  (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

N_{A} = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm

Conversion factor used:  1cm=10^{10}pm  

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

  • <u>For b:</u>

To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for BCC lattice:

R=\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}

where,

R = radius of the lattice = ?

a = edge length = 314 pm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

R=\frac{\sqrt{3}\times 314}{4}=135.9pm

Hence, the radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm
