Answer:

mass number = 18

Explanation:

The mass number is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom. Therefore, if there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, the mass number is 18 (8 + 10 = 18).

What is an evenly distributed, uniform mixture called?

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option

B. A homogeneous mixture

Explanation: Mixture is solution which is made of two or more than two substances which are combined only physically not chemically. There are two types of mixture i. e. Homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the substances which are combined are uniform in appearance and heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which substances are suspended in the solution and easily differentiated.

Gala2k [10]

$\text{Ammonia has been studied as an alternative "clean" fuel for internal combustion}$

$\text{engines, since its reaction with oxygen produces only nitrogen and water vapor,}$

$\text{and in the liquid form it is easily transported. An industrial chemist studying this}$

$\text{reaction fills a} \ \mathbf{100 \ L }\ \text{tank with} \ \mathbf{8.6 \ mol} \ \text{of ammonia gas and} \ \mathbf{28 \ mol} \ \ \text{of oxygen gas, }$

$\text{to be} \ \mathbf{2.6\ mol} \ .\ \text{Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the combustion of}$

$\text{ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.}$

Answer:

Explanation:

From the correct question above:

The reaction can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

From the above reaction; the ICE table can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

I (mol/L) 0.086 0.28 0 0

C -4x -3x +2x +6x

E 0.086 - 4x 0.28 - 3x +2x +6x

At equilibrium;

The water vapor = $\dfrac{2.6 \ mol}{100 \ L} = 6x$

$x = \dfrac{2.6}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$x = 0.00433$

$\text{equilibrium constant} ({k_c}) = \dfrac{ [N_2]^2 [H_2O]^6 }{ [[NH_3]^4] [O_2]^3 }$

$\implies \dfrac{(2x)^2 (6x)^6}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28-3x)^3} \\ \\$

Replacing the value of x, we have:

$K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46,656 \times x^8}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28 -3x)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46656 \times (0.00433)^8}{(0.06868)^4(0.26701)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \mathbf{5.4446 \times 10^{-8}}$

$K_c = \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{-8} \ to \ 2 \ significant \ figures}$

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

How many molecules are in 2.00 moles of h2o

Sedaia [141]

1 mole = 6.022×10^23 atoms. 1 water molecule = 2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom. So, 1 mole H2O = 1.2044×10^24 hydrogen atoms. Therefore 2 mole H2O will have 2.4088×10^24 hydrogen atoms.
