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.

If a solution containing
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Hg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq)   →   2NaNO₃(aq) + HgSO₄(s)

Moles of Hg(NO₃)₂ = 55.42 / 324.7 ==> 0.1707 moles

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 16.642 / 142.04 ==> 0.1172 moles

Limiting reagent is Na₂SO₄ as it controls product formation

Moles of HgSO₄ formed = 0.1172 moles

                                        = 0.1172 x 296.65

                                        = 34.757g
