<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.

Answer:

CER all starts with a question asked by the teacher. This question is based on a phenomena or lab experience. The student's explanation or answer, as you may have guessed, will consist of three parts: a claim, the evidence, and the student's reasoning. A claim is a statement that answers the question. Start with a hook or attention getting sentence. Briefly summarize the texts • State your claim. Make sure you are restating the prompt. Include a topic sentence that restates your claim and your reason.
