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.

In your own words, describe how the energy of a pendulum is changed as it moves through one cycle of its motion. Pls help online
ruslelena [56]

In a perfect world without air resistance, the top of the swing would have the most potential energy, but the least amount of kinetic energy. As the pendulum falls down, it gains more kinetic energy as it travels faster due to gravitational acceleration but loses more potential energy as it loses height. The total amount of energy in the system (the sum of kinetic and potential energy) stays the same.

What happens to Earth when it is farthest from the sun?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.

Therefore, most countries might have two or four seasons.

<em>hope this helps.</em>
