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

What will you observe if you add cuso4 to a solution containing glucose?
arsen [322]
The blue color of copper (ii) sulfate will change to green, yellow, orange ,red and then a dark red or brown.
Glucose is a reducing sugar; reducing sugars are sugar that forms an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an alkaline solution. Reducing sugars reduce the blue copper sulfate from the Benedict's solution to a red brown copper sulfide; which is seen as the precipitate and is responsible for the color change.

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?
Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

  • <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently.  For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
  • <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
  • <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
  • <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
  • <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃

Heat of fusion (?Hfus) is used for calculations involving a phase change between solid and liquid, with no temperature change. F
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

q = 38,5 kJ

Explanation:

In its melting point, at 0°C, water is liquid. The boiling point of water is 100°C. It is possible to estimate the heat you required to raise the temperature of water from 0°C to 100°C using:

q = C×m×ΔT

Where C is specific heat of water (4,184J/g°C), m is mass of water (92,0g) and ΔT is change in temperature (100°C-0°C = 100°C)

Replacing:

q = 4,184J/g°C×92,0g×100°C

q = 38493 J, in kilojoules:

<em>q = 38,5 kJ</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
