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.

Consider the equation: 2NO(0) - N.04(). Using ONLY the information given by the equation which of the following
ratelena [41]

Answer:

By increasing the pressure, the molar concentration of  N2O4 will increase

Explanation:

We have the equation 2NO2 ⇔ N2O4

This equation is reversible and exotherm. By <u>decreasing the temperature</u>, the reaction will produce more energy, so the reaction will move to the right.  But a lower temperature also lowers the rate of the process, so, the temperature is set at a compromise value that allows N2O4 to be made at a reasonable rate with an equilibrium concentration that is not too unfavorable

So <u>increasing the temperature</u> will shift the equilibrium to the left. The equilibrium shifts in the direction that consumes energy.

If we d<u>ecrease the concentration of NO2</u>, the equilibrium will shift to the left, resulting in forming more reactants.

To increase the molar concentration of the product N2O4, we have to <u>increase the pressure</u> of the system.

NO2 takes up more space than N2O4, so increasing the pressure would allow the reactant to collide more form more product.

By increasing the pressure, the molar concentration of  N2O4 will increase
