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 person tries to heat up her bath water by adding 5.0 l of water at 80c to 60 l of water at 30c. what is the final temperature
Sophie [7]
We can calculate the final temperature from this formula :

when Tf = (V1* T1) +(V2* T2) / (V1+ V2)

when V1 is the first volume of water = 5 L 

and V2 is the second  volume of water = 60 L

and T1 is the first temperature of water in Kelvin = 80 °C +273 = 353 K

and T2 is the second temperature of water in Kelvin =  30°C + 273= 303 K

and Tf is the final temperature of water in Kelvin 

so, by substitution:

Tf = (5 L * 353 K ) + ( 60 L * 303 K) / ( 5 L + 60 L)

     = 1765 + 18180 / 65 L

     = 306 K
     = 306 -273 = 33° C

When a caterpillar is big enough, it will form a chrysalis. During which stage of metamorphosis does this occur? (2 points) a Ad
weqwewe [10]

Answer: The stage of metamorphosis this occurs is called the PUPA stage. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Metamorphosis can be defined as the change in form, mode of life and behaviour that occurs during embryonic development of an organism. In the metamorphosis of insects, which mostly reproduce sexually, insects can be grouped according to the way the eggs develop into adults. Some show:

--> Complete metamorphosis or

--> Incomplete metamorphosis.

In the life cycle of a butterfly, a COMPLETE metamorphosis occurs. This is because after fertilization, the EGG hatches into LARVA which passes through a PUPAL stage before becoming transformed into an ADULT insect. That is:

Egg --> Larva --> Pupa --> Imago.

When the caterpillar, which is the Larva stage, has reached its full size, it spins a pad of silk on a twig. It moves upward and attached it's clasper to this pad. It spin another silk thread at the thorax. These aids it to assume a slanting position with the head end pointing upwards. The pupa stage called the CHRYSALIS is reached when it tucks it's head under its thorax, arches it's body, shortens and broadens, and moults for the last time. Therefore the correct option is D (pupa).
