Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

<u>Let's consider all the choices to determine the attributes of isotopes</u>

  • Choice (A) is wrong

        ⇒ isotopes are often found in nature as they are often the atoms

            that form the world around us

  • Choice (B) is wrong

        ⇒ isotopes describe a certain type of atom with a certain

             characterist that exists, thus it isn't theoretical

  • Choice (C) is wrong

        ⇒ as said before, isotopes are found in nature and form the world

  • Choice (D) is correct

        ⇒Isotopes are a type of atoms thus they are found in nature

<u>Answer: (D)</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

Answer:

D. found in nature.

Explanation:

Isotope is any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights. There are 275 isotopes of the the 81 stable elements, in addition to over 800 radioactive isotopes, and every element has known isotopic forms. Isotopes of a single element possess almost identical properties.  An isotope of an element is just a version of that element with a particular number of neutrons. Some numbers are stable, some are not; the ones that aren't shoot particles out at extremely high speeds ("radiation").

Since radioisotopes generally have the same chemistry as their stable counterparts (since neutrons play almost no role in chemistry), they'll get wherever other atoms of that element would get. Iodine, for example, accumulates in your thyroid gland - so do radioactive forms of iodine, which can then cause thyroid cancer by irradiating it from the inside.

Also because they're chemically almost indistinguishable, they're almost impossible to separate out by any normal means. It's like giving someone a giant bin of golf balls, some of which are 1% heavier than the other golf balls but are otherwise exactly the same, and saying "okay, sort these". Except the golf balls are atoms and the bin is the size of a small country.

If you have an altitude of 55 mi. (miles), which layer of the atmosphere are you in?
Kruka [31]

Answer: You would be in the D-region

The reason I understand this is because the D-region stands 55 miles in altitude, despite it will likely vanishes at night.

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

How can I tell if a chemical reaction is occurring? A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observed physical effects, such as the emission of heat and light, the formation of a precipitate, the evolution of gas, or a color change.

<h3>What is an empirical formula?</h3>

A chemical formula showing the simplest ratio of elements in a compound rather than the total number of atoms in the molecule.

We are given:

Percentage of C = 67.31 %

Percentage of H = 6.978 %

Percentage of N = 4.617 %

Percentage of O = 21.10 %

Let the mass of the compound be 100 g. So, the percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 67.31 g

Mass of H = 6.978 g

Mass of N = 4.617 g

Mass of O = 21.10 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of carbon = \frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles of carbon =\frac{67.31g}{12g/mole}

=5.60 moles

Moles of hydrogen = \frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles of hydrogen = \frac{6.978 g}{1 g/mole}

=6.978 moles

Moles of nitrogen =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles of nitrogen = \frac{4.617  g}{14 g/mole}

=0.329 moles

Moles of oxygen =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles of oxygen =\frac{21.10 g}{16 g/mole}

=1.31 moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.329 moles.

We get the ratio of C : H : N : O = 17 : 21 : 1 : 4

The empirical formula for the given compound is C_{17}H_{21}NO_{4}.

A particular reactant decomposes with a half-life of 113 s when its initial concentration is 0.372 M. The same reactant decompos
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Rate constant =  0.0237 M-1 s-1, Order = Second order

Explanation:

In this problem, it can be observed that as the concentration decreases, the half life increases. This means the concentration of the reactant is inversely proportional to the half life.

The order of reaction that exhibit this relationship is the second order of reaction.

In the second order of reaction, the relationship between rate constant and half life is given as;

t1/2 = 1 / k[A]o

Where;

k = rate constant

[A]o = Initial concentration

k = 1 / t1/2 [A]

Uisng the following values;

k = ?

t1/2 = 113

[A]o = 0.372M

k = 1 / (113)(0.372)

k = 1 / 42.036 = 0.0237 M-1 s-1
