The difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is number of neutrons.

<h3>What is atomic mass? </h3>

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons of an element.

Atomic mass is represented by A.

<h3>What is Atomic number?</h3>

Atomic number is defined as the number of electron in an element.

Atomic number is represented by Z.

<h3>What is Isotopes? </h3>

Isotopes are the element which have same atomic number but have different atomic mass.

Number of proton is equal to number of electrons.

Proton is positively charged, electrons are negativity charge while neutrons are neutral in nature.

Proton and neutrons are present in the nucleus of an element. On the other hand, electron revolves around the nucleus.

For example:

The atomic mass of¹⁶₈O is 16, while of ¹⁷₈O is 17.

Neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number

Neutrons of ¹⁶₈O = 16-8 = 8

Neutrons of ¹⁷₈O = 17-8 = 9

So, they have different atomic mass and number of neutrons.

Thus, we concluded that the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is number of neutrons.

Nitrogen dioxide is one of the many oxides of nitrogen (often collectively called "NOx") that are of interest to atmospheric che

Helga [31]

Answer:

Partial pressure of dinitrogen tetroxide after equilibrium is reached the second time is 0.82 atm.

Explanation:

$2NO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2O_4(g)$

Initially

3.0 atm 0

At equilibrium

(3.0-2p) p

Equilibrium partial pressure of $NO_2=2.1atm=3.0-2p$

p = 0.45 atm

The value of equilibrium constant wil be given by :

$K_p=\frac{p_{N_2O_4}}{(p_{NO_2})^2}=\frac{p}{(3.0-2p)^2}$

$K_p=\frac{0.45}{(2.1)^2}=0.10$

After addition of 1.5 atm of nitrogen dioxide gas equilibrium reestablishes it self :

$2NO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2O_4(g)$

After adding 1.5 atm of $NO_2$ :

(2.1+1.5) atm 0.45 atm

At second equilibrium:'

(3.6-2P) (0.45+P)

The expression of equilibrium can be written as:

$K_p=\frac{p'_{N_2O_4}}{(p'_{NO_2})^2}$

$0.10=\frac{(0.45+P)}{(3.6-2P)^2}$

Solving for P:

P = 0.37 atm

Partial pressure of dinitrogen tetroxide after equilibrium is reached the second time:

= (0.45+P) atm = (0.45 + 0.37 )atm = 0.82 atm

Partial pressure of dinitrogen tetroxide after equilibrium is reached the second time is 0.82 atm.
