6 0

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.

Write the complete balanced equation for the following reaction:
hodyreva [135]
To complete the balancing of the following combustion reaction, we must do elemental balances. For C, there is 5 on the left side hence there should be 5 CO2. For H, H20 should be 9/2. Next we balance O. on theright side we find a total of 29/2. So the o2 on the left side should be 29/4. To  have whole number stoich.coeff. we multiply the numbers by 4, hence answer is
4C5H9O + 9O2= 20 O2 + 18 H20.

What is molarity of 50.0 g of mgcl2 dissolved in 150 ml of solution?
Ivahew [28]
To find the molarity of the compound, simply determine the molar mass of MgCl2 and then convert 50 g to moles using the molar mass of the compound. Then convert 150 ml to L = 0.15 L

Then divide the moles amount by the volume in L.
