There are TWO isotopes of chlorine. Under normal conditions, chlorine exists as diatomic molecule, Cl₂. The mass of the Cl₂ mole

cule is the sum of masses of the two atoms in the molecule. The mass spectrum of Cl₂ has three peaks, as shown below. From this data, what is the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu)?
Peak 1- 69.938 amu
Peak 2- 71.935 amu
Peak 3- 73.932 amu

The the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu) is 73.932 amu.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

The term isotopes refers atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass number. We must know that all these atoms belong to the same element an differ only in the number of neutrons present in the atom of the element. Hence isotopes are different atoms of the same element hence they have the same chemical properties or reactivity. The mass spectrum is able to show the masses of each of the isotopes according to their order of relative abundance in nature.

Looking at the peaks, we know that the heaviest isotope is the one whose mass will have the highest peak as shown in the mass spectrum of the element as shown. Thus, the the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu) is 73.932 amu. The mass spectrum of element also shows this fact.

Explain why the solutions of SbCl3(aq) in our lab also contain HCl. Why would adding a few drops of this solution to 300 mL of w
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

SbCl₃ reacts with water to form slightly soluble antimony oxychloride.

SbCl₃(aq) +H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ SbOCl(s) + 2HCl(aq)

Your observation is an example of Le Châtelier's Principle in action,

The SbCl₃(aq) in your lab has enough HCl added to push the position of equilibrium to the left and keep the SbOCl in solution.

If a few drops of the SbCl₃(aq) were added to 300 mL of water, the solution would turn cloudy. The HCl would be so dilute that the position of equilibrium would lie to the right, and a cloudy precipitate of antimony oxychloride would form.

The three end stages of stars are Red Giant Phase, Second Red Giant Phase and White Dwarf Phase correct?
solong [7]

Answer: Most of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars — those converting hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. A main sequence star may have a mass between a third to eight times that of the sun and eventually burn through the hydrogen in its core. Over its life, the outward pressure of fusion has balanced against the inward pressure of gravity. Once the fusion stops, gravity takes the lead and compresses the star smaller and tighter.

Temperatures increase with the contraction, eventually reaching levels where helium is able to fuse into carbon. Depending on the mass of the star, the helium burning might be gradual or might begin with an explosive flash.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and the moisture that is already present in the air and thus catches fire.
