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.

What is the percent by volume of ethanol (C2H60, or ethyl alcohol) in the final solution when 90 mL of ethanol is diluted to a v
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

16.0%.

Explanation:

Volume percent of a substance is the ratio of the substance volume to the solution volume multiplied by 100.

V % of ethanol = (volume of ethanol / volume of the solution) x 100.

volume of ethanol = 90.0 mL, volume of the solution = 550.0 mL.

∴ V % of ethanol = (90.0 mL / 550.0 mL) x 100 = 16.36% ≅ 16.0%.

A 35.40 gram hydrate of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass. Its final weight is 30.2 g. What is formula
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃•H₂O

Explanation:

After it is heated, the remaining mass is the mass of sodium carbonate.

30.2 g Na₂CO₃

Mass is conserved, so the difference is the mass of the water:

35.4 g − 30.2 g = 5.2 g H₂O

Convert masses to moles:

30.2 g Na₂CO₃ × (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 106 g Na₂CO₃) = 0.285 mol Na₂CO₃

5.2 g H₂O × (1 mol H₂O / 18.0 g H₂O) = 0.289 mol H₂O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

0.285 / 0.285 = 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃

0.289 / 0.285 = 1.01 mol H₂O

The ratio is approximately 1:1.  So the formula of the hydrate is Na₂CO₃•H₂O.
