<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.

Silicon is prepared by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al. Write the equation for this reaction. (Hint: Can F⁻ be oxidized in this
BlackZzzverrR [31]

4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3 is the reaction for preparation of silicon by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al.

AlF3xH2O-based inorganic compounds are referred to as aluminium fluoride. They are all solids without colour. Aluminium fluoride is a crystalline (sand-like), odourless, white, or colourless powder. In addition to being used to make aluminium, it also functions as a flux in welding processes and in ceramic glazes and enamels.

Silicon (Si) is created by reducing potassium silicofluoride with aluminium as the reducing agent (K2SIF6). While K2SiF6 is reduced to Si in this equation, aluminium is oxidised to aluminium fluoride. As a result, the balanced equation describing aluminum's reduction of K2SiF6 to silicon non-metal is as follows: 4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3

Discuss Newland octave law and it's rejection
Delvig [45]
It's where chemical elements are organized based on atomic weight. Also, like/similar physical and chemical properties in each interval of 7 elements. 
It was a silly reason it was rejected. It was rejected because it's octaves were too similar to those in music.
I hope this helps!

Calculate the number of moles of KOH in 6.70 mL of a 0.480 M KOH solution. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

3.2×10^-3 mol

Explanation:

The equation for molarity is M= n/L. Where "M" is Molarity, "n" is the number of moles of solute, and "L" is the total liters in solution.

The question gives you the volume in mL, so to convert "mL" to "L" you need to divide by 1000. (6.70mL/ 1000L)= 0.0067L.

Now you can plug the numbers into the equation. 0.480M= n/ 0.0067L), multiply (0.480M×0.0067L)= 0.003216 mol. The scientific notation is 3.2×10^-3, 10^-3 because you move the decimal back three times and 3.2 because there are 2 sig figs.
