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.

Hey there!

D  = m / V

13.6 = 76.2 / V

V = 76.2 / 13.6

V = 5.602 mL

A helium balloon has a pressure of 0.2 kPa and a volume of 15 L. If the pressure increases to 0.5 kPa, what volume will the ball
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

6.0 L

Explanation:

For this question, we can use

P1×V1= P2 × V2

where

P1 (initial pressure)= 0.2 kPa

V1 (initial volume)= 15L

P2 (final pressure)= 0.5 kPa

V2(final volume)= ?

Since we are trying to find final volume, we can rearrange the equation to make V2 the subject.

V2= (P1 × V1)/ P2

V2= (0.2 ×15)/0.5

V2 =6 L

Modern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough t
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The metallic properties of steel would strongly not favor its use in construction of aircraft.

Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. It is denser and generally weighs more than equivalent amount of aluminum. This would imply that the weight of aircrafts would be much more heavier than usual. Weight is a very key component in construction of aircraft. The lighter the mass, the faster propellers can move the craft and lesser amount of energy used. The weight would be a major problem.

Although alloying iron and carbon improves the resistant of the steel to corrosion, it still cannot be compared to that of aluminium. We would build airplanes that would not be durable for so long and that can readily rust on frequent usage.

A tetrahedral carbon is ____________ hybridized while a linear carbon is ____________ hybridized.
Sav [38]

A tetrahedral carbon is sp3 hybridized while a linear carbon is sp hybridized.

Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is a non-metal and is tetravalent. That atom donates four electrons to form a covalent chemical bond. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon makes up only about 0.025% of the Earth's crust.

Carbon is used in some form in almost every industry in the world. It is used as fuel in the form of coal, methane gas, and crude oil (used to make gasoline). It is used to manufacture all kinds of materials, including plastics and alloys such as steel (a combination of carbon and iron). Carbon is an essential element for all life forms on earth. Carbon uptake and release are part of all plant and animal life, whether these life forms take up carbon to help make food or release carbon as part of respiration. Carbon is in constant motion from place to place.
