Answer:Granite forms as magma cools far under the earth's surface. Because it hardens deep underground it cools very slowly. This allows crystals of the four minerals to grow large enough to be easily seen by the naked eye. Look at the photo of granite above, notice the different crystals in the rock

The image shows the representation of an unknown element in the periodic table. A square is shown. Inside the square twelve is w

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: The correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.

Explanation:

We are given:

An element having atomic number 12 is magnesium and atomic mass of the element is 24.305

The image corresponding will be $_{24.305}\textrm{Mg}^{12}\\\text{Magnesium}$

The number '24.305' is the average atomic mass of magnesium element.

Average atomic mass is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

Average atomic mass of magnesium = 24.305 amu

As, the average atomic mass of magnesium lies closer to the mass of Mg-24 isotope. This means that the relative abundance of this isotope is the highest of all the other isotopes.

The 'Mg-24' isotope is the most common isotope of the given element.

Hence, the correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.

Diatomic O2 can react with the element magnesium to form magnesium oxide (MgO). The balanced chemical equation is: 2Mg + O2 → 2M

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Step 2: Data given

Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles

Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant

Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.

For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
