Answer:

The correct answer is 24.31 amu.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the average atomic mass = The sum of the percentage abundance of isotopes × the actual mass of isotopes

The average atomic mass = % abundance of Mg-24 × actual mass + % abundance of Mg-25 × its actual mass + % abundance of Mg-26 × its actual mass

Avg. Atomic mass = 0.7870 × 23.98504 + 0.1013 × 24.98584 + 0.1117 × 25.98259

Avg. atomic mass = 18.88 + 2.53 + 2.90 = 24.31 amu

The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 amu.

Write 0.00000009345 in Engineering Notation with 3 significant figures
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

93.43\times 10^{-9}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way of writing numbers which are either large or small. The number is written in the scientific notation when the number is between 1 and 10 and then multiplied by the power of 10. Engineering notation is the same version of the scientific notation but the number can be between 1 and 1000 and in this exponent of the ten is divisible by three.

For example, 1000^2 is to be written as 10^6 in engineering notation.

The given number:

0.00000009345 can be written as 93.425\times 10^{-9}

Answer upto 4 significant digits = 93.43\times 10^{-9}
