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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Debora [2.8K]2 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.

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? (Not sure if this is chemistry or not lol)
Leni [432]

Answer:

When white glue is in the bottle, there's not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle holds the glue from the air and keeps the glue from going everywhere.

Devices that mix air or oxygen with flammable gasses cannot be used unless approved by an <u>authorized or approved personnel.</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>

  • Examples of flammable gases are hydrocarbons such as <u>Propane, Acetylene</u>, e.t.c.

  • Flammable gases are dangerous to humans and the environment and if they are not handled properly, can cause severe damages and even death.

  • During the preparation and usage of flammable gases, safety precautions should be properly enforced such as the <u>wearing of appropriate safety gear and goggles</u>.

Water containing large amounts of Mg2+and Ca2+ions is said to be hard because it is hard to make soap lather in the water. True
mafiozo [28]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Water is said to be hard when it contains calcium ions or magnesium ions dissolved in it. These ions are able to react with soap in such a way that the soap is prevented from forming lather with the water. Hard water occurs when water passes over calcium or magnesium bearing minerals and dissolves some of it. Hardness due to the presence of calcium ions can easily be removed by boiling the water.

What the difference between a sodium atom (Na) and a sodium ion (Nal+)
vichka [17]

Answer:

So a sodium atom has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 meaning it has 1 electron on its outer shell. It has a neutral charge since the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

A sodium ion is one that has lost the electron on its valence shell. The electronic configuration is 2,8 and it has a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.
