The atomic mass of magnesium is the weighted average of the atomic masses of

Chemistry
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2. All the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg.

Explanation:

You want to know the atomic mass of the magnesium you use in the lab. That’s “natural” magnesium. So, you must use the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes in natural Mg.

1. and 3. are <em>wrong</em>. You won’t get the correct mass for natural Mg if you use only the artificial isotopes for your calculation.

4. is <em>wrong</em>. You must use all the naturally occurring isotopes. The two most abundant isotopes of Mg account for only 90 % of the atoms. If you ignore the other 10 %, your calculation will be wrong.

What is the oxidation state of cr in CrPO4 and Cr3(PO4)2?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation state of Cr in CrPO₄

As a general rule, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The compound above is in its neutral state and we sum all the oxidation numbers and equate to zero:

The oxidation number of P is -2

                                           O is -2

Let the oxidation number of Cr be x:

                              x + (-2) + 4(-2) = 0

                              x -2-8 = 0

                               x -10 = 0

                                x = +10

For Cr in Cr₃(PO₄)₂

         Using the same rule:

        2(x) + 2[-2 + 4(-2)] = 0

           2x + 2(-2-8) = 0

            2x -20 = 0

                x = +10

Classify each of the following substances:
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid

A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.

In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.

Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).

Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.
