<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of magnesium is 24.307 amu.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.  

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

  • <u>For _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 23.985 amu

Percentage abundance of _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 78.994 %

Fractional abundance of _{12}^{24}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 0.78994

  • <u>For _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 24.986 amu

Percentage abundance of _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 10.001 %

Fractional abundance of _{12}^{25}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 0.10001

  • <u>For _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 25.983 amu

Percentage abundance of _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 11.013 %

Fractional abundance of _{12}^{26}\textrm{Mg} isotope = 0.11013

Putting values in equation 1, we get:  

\text{Average atomic mass of magnesium}=[(23.985\times 0.78994)+(24.986\times 0.10001)+(25.983\times 0.11013)]

\text{Average atomic mass of magnesium}=24.307amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of magnesium is 24.307 amu.

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm

The teacher tells your group to make a stock solution of sodium chloride, and then diluting it to
sergejj [24]

The idea here is that you need to figure out how many moles of magnesium chloride,

MgCl

2

, you need to have in the target solution, then use this value to determine what volume of the stock solution would contain this many moles.

As you know, molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute, which in your case is magnesium chloride, divided by liters of solution.

c

=

n

V

So, how many moles of magnesium chloride must be present in the target solution?

c

=

n

V

⇒

n

=

c

⋅

V

n

=

0.158 M

⋅

250.0

⋅

−

L

=

0.0395 moles MgCl

Now determine what volume of the target solution would contain this many moles of magnesium chloride

c

=

n

V

⇒

V

=

n

c

V

=

0.0395

moles

3.15

moles

L

=

0.01254 L

Rounded to three sig figs and expressed in mililiters, the volume will be

V

=

12.5 mL

So, to prepare your target solution, use a

12.5-mL

sample of the stock solution and add enough water to make the volume of the total solution equal to

250.0 mL

.

This is equivalent to diluting the

12.5-mL

sample of the stock solution by a dilution factor of

20

.

In the combustion chamber of an engine, the initial volume is 450 cm3 at a pressure of 1.0 atmosphere. If the piston displaces 4
Alona [7]

Assuming that the contents of the chamber ar ideal gases. We can use the relation PV=nRT.  At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 = (1)(450)/ 48

P2 = 9.375 atm
