Answer:

a. 69.5% and 30.5%

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of Mg, Mg-24  and Mg-25.

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 25

1-x for isotopes having mass 24

The average atomic mass of Mg is 24.305 amu.

we will use the following equation,

25x + 24 (1-x) =  24.305

25x + 24 - 24x =  24.305

25x- 24x = 24.305 - 24

1x = 0.305

x= 0.305 /1

x= 0.305

0.305 × 100 = 30.5 %

30.5 % is abundance of Mg-25 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of Mg-24.

(1-x)

1-0.305 =0.695

0.695  × 100 = 69.5%

69.5%   for Mg-24.

State the law of conservation of mass
Katen [24]

It’s basically that’s any system that’s closed to all transfers of matter and energy the mass of the system has to remain constant over time because they can’t change meaning you can’t add or remove from it

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
