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.

which solution below would be considered the most acidic?a. 2.9 x 10-4 m hclb. 4.5 x 10-5 m hno3c. 1.0 x 10-7 m nacld. 1.5 x 10-
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl

Explanation:

A solution is considered acidic when its concentration of H⁺ is higher than 1x10⁻⁷. The higher concentration of H⁺ will be the most acidic solution.

a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl. In water, this solution dissolves as H⁺ and Cl⁻. That means concentration of H⁺ is 2,9x10⁻⁴ M.

b. 4,5x10⁻⁵M HNO₃. In the same way, concentration of H⁺ is 4,5x10⁻⁵M.

c. 1,0x10⁻⁷M NaCl. As this solution doesn't produce H⁺, the solution is not acidic

d. 1,5x10⁻²M KOH. This solution produce OH⁻. That means the solution is basic nor acidic.

Thus, the solution considered the most acidic is a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl, because has the higher concentration of H⁺.

I hope it helps!
