<span>If you look at the chlorine box, with the symbol Cl, you see the atomic mass is equal to 35.453 atomic mass units. This is the weighted average mass of chlorine, including its isotopes, as found in nature. This also means that one mole of chlorine atoms has a mass of 35.453 grams.</span>
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.
The process by which rocks are broken down to form soil is called weathering. It is divided into 3 types, physical, chemical and biological weathering.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down as a result of physical agitations. It is also called mechanical weathering and during this process the chemical nature of the rock is not affected. Biological weathering has to do with the weakening of rocks and their eventual disintegration as a result of plants and animals activities. Chemical weathering refers to the disintegration of the rock particles as a result of chemical reactions.
Answer:
Hands-free eyewash stations, sand bucket, fire blankets, fire extinguishers, fire alarm system and first aid kit.
Explanation:
Working in laboratories has many risks, therefore, preventive measures that should be incorporated to avoid the occurrence of any laboratory accidents.
Some of the important emergency equipment that should be available in laboratories are: hands-free eyewash stations, sand bucket, fire blankets, fire extinguishers, fire alarm system, chemical storage cabinet, first aid kits and fume hood.
Some of the personal protective equipment include lab coats, goggles, safety gloves and face shield.
The molar mass is usually referred to with
M
, while the mass is referred to as
m
. The amount of substance is
n
. This gives you the following relationship:
=
M
=
m
n
Since you have given (C3H8)=11 g

In this question it is quite hard to explain the use of significant figures. Those are used to imply a certain inaccuracy. Not enough information is given by the question, as of how accurate the measurement is. It is a mere exercise of converting one property into another. Here you should not worry about it.
