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%.

Aluminum oxide has a composition of 52.9% aluminum and 47.1% oxygen by mass. if 16.4 g of aluminum reacts with oxygen to form al
Dafna1 [17]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

4Al + 3O2 = 2Al2O3

To determine the mass of oxygen gas that would react with the given amount of aluminum metal, we use the initial amount and relate this amount to the ratio of the substances from the chemical reaction. We do as follows:

moles Al = 16.4 g ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.61 mol Al
moles O2 = 0.61 mol Al ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol Al ) = 0.46 mol O2
mass O2 = 0.46 mol O2 ( 32.0 g / mol ) = 14.59 g O2

Therefore, to completely react 16.4 grams of aluminum metal we need a minimum of 14.59 grams of oxygen gas.

If a penny is made of 3.11 grams of copper, how many atoms of copper are in the penny
Pie

Answer:

2.94x10²² atoms of Cu

Explanation:

We must work with NA to solve this, where NA is the number of Avogadro, number of particles of 1 mol of anything.

Molar mass Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Mass / Molar mass = Mol → 3.11 g / 63.55 g/m = 0.0489 moles

1 mol  of Cu has 6.02x10²³ atoms of Cu

0.0489 moles of Cu, will have (0.0489  .NA)/ 1 = 2.94x10²² atoms of Cu
