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.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6
Alexxandr [17]
Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.

H = m<span>CΔT
2501.0 = 0.158 (C) (61.0 - 32.0)

C = 545.8 J/kg</span>·°C

If you have 6.25g of O2, how many moles of H2O are produced?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 6.25 g

Moles of water produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2H₂ + O₂  → 2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 6.35 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with water:

                    O₂          :          H₂O

                     1            :            2

                   0.2          :        2×0.2 = 0.4 mol

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.
