Elemental magnesium consists of three isotopes: 24mg with an accurate mass of 23.99 amu, 25mg with an accurate mass of 24.99 amu

, and 26mg with an accurate mass of 25.99 amu. if 24mg is 79% of naturally occurring magnesium, what is the percent abundance of 26mg?

The relative abundances of the three isotopes must be equal to 1. Suppose x is the abundance of 25 mg, and y is the abundance of 26 mg, then,

x + y + 0.79 = 1 --> eqn 1

The average atomic weight of Magnesium is 24.305 amu. Thus,

23.99(0.79) + 24.99(x) + 25.99(y) = 24.305 --> eqn 2

Rearranging eqn 1: x = 1 - 0.79 - y = 0.21 - y. Substituting this to the second equation,

23.99(0.79) + 24.99(0.21 - y) + 25.99(y) = 24.305
Solving for y,
y = 0.105 or 10.5%

Thus, the percent abundance of 26 mg is y which is 10.5%.

Which of the following reactions is the least energetic? Question 18 options: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi AMP + H
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is AMP+H2O→ Adenosine + pi

Explanation:

The above reaction is least energetic because there is no phosphoanhydride bond present with adenosine mono phosphate.Phospho anhydride bond is an energy rich bond.

As a result hydrolysis of AMP generates very little amount of energy in comparison to the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP.

b. increase in surface area

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Speeding up a chemical reaction

Required

Factors used to speed up reactions

Solution

There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :  

1. Concentration  

2. Surface area  

3. Temperature  

4. Catalyst  

5. Pressure  

6. Stirring  

Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Heat is absorbed causes the particles of matter to move faster so that the reaction can take place faster

The enlarged surface area of the reactants causes more particles to react with other particles.

50 g square block of sulfur can be broken into small pieces or powdered so that more particles come into contact with each other

Which of the following results in the release of nuclear energy?
Pepsi [2]

c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

  • Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
  • In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

Which one of the following classes of organic compound does not contain the carbonyl (C=O) group?A) aldehydesB) carboxylic acids
vredina [299]

Answer: alcohols

Explanation:

The carbonyl group refers to C=O. It is contained in aldehyde, Ketones, carboxylic acids , esters, amides and acyl chlorides. They are not found in alcohols. The alchols are generally ROH. They do not contain any carbon-oxygen unsaturated bond in their structure hence the answer.
