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.

PLZ HELP!<br><br> How do you think changing the angle of a ramp will affect work done?
kogti [31]

Answer: The steepness of a ramp affects it by making it easier or harder.

Explanation: It's a bit situational. If you were going up a steep ramp with a heavy load, it will increase the work necessary, whereas if you were going down a ramp, it would decrease the work necessary. If you need this simply put, think about biking up and down a hill. It would be easier going down than up.

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball
stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.

How many H atoms in 12H2O?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

24 atoms of H  or 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

simple method

1 H₂O has  atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

while 12H₂O will have 24 atoms of hydrogen and 12 atom of oxygen

by Avagadros number

molar mass of water H₂0=18.01528 g/mol

1 mole of H₂0 have 2 moles of Hydrogen  

one mole of water= 6.02⋅10²³water molecules =1.2 x 10²⁴hydrogen atoms

12 mole of H₂O   =    1.2 x 10²⁴ x 12=  1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms  

<u />

1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms   in 12 moles of H₂O

<u />
