Answer:

24.309

Explanation:

Let A, B, and C represent the three isotopes.

For isotope A:

Mass number = 23.99

Abundance = 78.99%

For isotope B:

Mass number = 24.99

Abundance = 10.00%

For isotope C:

Mass number = 25.98

Abundance = 11.01%

Atomic mass of Mg =?

Atomic mass = [(Mass of AxA%)/100] + [(Mass of BxB%)/100] + [(Mass of CxC%)/100]

Atomic Mass = [(23.99x78.99)/100] + [(24.99x 10)/100] + [(25.98x11.01)/100]

Atomic number = 18.950 + 2.499 + 2.860

Atomic mass of Mg = 24.309

makkiz [27]
When a conductor is passed through a magnetic field, a current is induced in the conductor. This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. A changing magnetic field creates an electric field or current. This happens because of the movement of electrons in conductor as affected by the presence of the changing magnetic field.

The dissociation equations for ZnCl2 gives Zn2+ and 2 Cl-  

Explanation:

The following pictures shows that the dissociation of one particle of NaBr produces one particle of Na+ (sodium cation) and one particle of Br- (bromine anion).

The dissociation of one particle of ZnCl2 produces one particle of Zn+2 (Zinc cation) and two particles of Cl- (chlorine anion).
