Naturally occurring magnesium exists as three isotopes. 78.70% is Mg-24 with a mass of 23.98504 amu, 10.13% is Mg-25 with a mass

of 24.98584 amu, and 11.17% is Mg-26 with a mass of 25.98259 amu. What is the atomic mass of magnesium?

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.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>  

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>

<em />

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old
