20 protons

25 neutrons

20 electrons

20 protons

20 electrons ( as much elctrons as protons because there has to be same positive and negative to have a neutral atom)

And the number of neutrons depends of the mass number but in that case, I think that it's a Calcium atom (Ca) and so there are 20 netrons.

Help please with question number 16)

Answer:

Mg²⁵   =   10.00%    

Mg²⁶   =   45.04%

Mg²⁴   =   44.96%

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic mass of Mg²⁶ = 25.983

Atomic mass of Mg²⁵ = 24.986

Atomic mass of Mg²⁴ = 23.985

Abundance of Mg²⁵ = 10.00%

Abundance of Mg²⁶ = ?

Abundance of Mg²⁴ = ?

Solution:

Average atomic weight of Mg = 25.983  + 24.986+ 23.985 / 3

Average atomic weight of Mg = 74.954/3

Average atomic weight of Mg = 24.985 amu

Abundance of          

Mg²⁵   =   10.00    

Mg²⁶   =    x      

Mg²⁴   =   100- 10 - x = 90 -x    

Formula:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

24.985 = (0.1×24.986)+(90-x×23.985) + ( x ×25.983 )  /100

24.985 =  249.86 + 2158.65 - 23.985x + 25.983x  / 100

24.985 = 2408.51 + 1.998 x / 100

2498.5 = 2408.51 + 1.998 x

1.998 x = 2498.5 - 2408.51

1.998 x = 89.99

x = 89.99 /1.998

x = 45.04

Now we put the value of x:

Mg²⁵   =   10.00    

Mg²⁶   =    x  (45.04)

Mg²⁴   =   90 -x   (90 - 45.04 = 44.96)

The vapor pressure of methanol is 143 mmhg. identify the best reason to explain why methanol spontaneously evaporates in open ai
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer/Explanation:

Methanol has a molecular weight (32.04 g/mol), low-boiling point and because of its low boiling point, methanol readily evaporates at room temperature.

Under these specified non-standard conditions, the partial pressure of methanol is lower than its vapor pressure and this explains the reason for the spontaneous evaporation exhibited by methanol.
