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

Why does one beach have purple sand and another beach have pink sand?
Gnesinka [82]
Ok so I’m going to break it up so it’s a bit easier to read through:

The colours are from the different rocks and minerals that make up the sand.

The little fragments of rock come from for example surrounding mountains.

It could also because sand is simply the product from erosion of the rocks rubbing each other under the action of the waves.

So if the bottom of the ocean is made of black lava for example in Hawaii, there’s a good chance of the sand being black.

In California, the sand usually looks white because it has minerals like quartz and pieces of shell that are made of calcium carbonate.

Hope this helps :)

What is the precent yield if the actual yield is 25g and 100g should have formed?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Percent yield is 25%

Explanation:

Information given is

Actual yield is 25 g

But the yield should be 100 g

The percent yield is defined as the ratio of the actual yield and the predicted yield it means that out of the predicted yield what percentage of the actual yield is obtained

∴ Percent yield = (Actual yield ÷ Predicted yield) ×  100

In case of the given problem the percent yield will be

(25÷100) × 100 = 25%

∴ Percent yield = 25%
