Answer:

24.32

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 24

Abundance (A%) = 78.70%

Isotope B

Mass of B = 25

Abundance (B%) = 10.13%

Isotope C:

Mass of C = 26

Abundance (C%) = 11.17%

Average atomic mass of Mg =..?

The average atomic mass of Mg can be obtained as illustrated below:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

Average atomic mass = [(24 × 78.70)/100] + [(25 × 10.13)/100] + [(26 × 11.17)/100]

= 18.888 + 2.5325 + 2.9042

= 24.3247 ≈ 24.32

Therefore, the average atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.32

what is the balanced equation for when an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium metal, aqueous sodium chlorin
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2(g)

Explanation:

Na(s) + HCl(aq) —> NaCl(aq) + H2(g)

Writing an ionic equation will actually help us to understand the equation and also to balance it. This is illustrated below:

Na + H+Cl-

Na is higher than H in the activity series and as such, it will displaces H from the solution and form NaCl with H2 liberated as shown below

Na + H+Cl- —> Na+Cl- + H2

Now, put 2 in front of Na, H+Cl- and Na+Cl- to balance the equation as shown below:

2Na + 2H+Cl- —> 2Na+Cl- + H2

Now we can write the elemental equation as follow:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) —> 2NaCl(aq) + H2(g)

Which is not a product of the fractional distillation of petroleum?
Natalka [10]
Answer:
            Option-C, <u>STEEL</u> <span>is not a product of the fractional distillation of petroleum.

Explanation:
                   Petroleum is the mixture of Hydrocarbons *carbon and hydrogen containing compounds) present beneath the Earth's surface. Petroleum is formed from the remains of animals and plants beneath earth's surface in an anaerobic conditions.
                   Petroleum contains from small hydrocarbons (gases) to medium (liquids) and long chain hydrocarbons (Solids). These hydrocarbons are separated from each other by Fractional Distillation method (separation due to difference in boiling points)
                   Gasoline is a derivative of one of the fraction of petroleum used in internal combustion engines.
                   Jet Fuel is also derived from Kerosene and Naphtha fractions of petroleum.
                   While, Steel is inorganic Alloy (mixture of metals) composed of mainly Iron, Carbon and other elements.</span>
