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.

Cis-platin is a chlorine-containing chemotherapy agent with the formula pt(nh3)2cl2. What is the mass of one mole of cis-platin?

marishachu [46]

Cis-platin is a chemotherapy agent used to treat and kill cancerous cells in patients. One mole of cis-platin has a mass of 300.06 grams/mol. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a chemotherapy agent?</h3>

A chemotherapy agent is an alkylating agent that is used to treat cancer and is given to reduce the infection or to relieve the symptoms. Cis-platin (Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂) is one of the chemotherapy agents that treat lung, ovarian, and neck cancer, etc.

The mass of one mole of Cis-platin is calculated as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Where,

Moles = 1 mole

The molar mass of (Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂) is calculated as,

195.06 g/mole + 2(17g/mole) + (35.5)2 = 300.06 grams

Substituting values to calculate mass:

Mass = Molar mass × moles

= 300. 06 × 1

= 300.06 grams/mol

Therefore, option B. 300.06 gm/mol is the mass of Cis-platin.

when you cook food like eggs or potatoes this is a chemical change when candle burns the wick of the candle and wax turn into no

finlep [7]

When you cook food like eggs, this is a chemical change. Agree.

The runny egg turns into a solid. One type of matter must be changing into another type

When you cook food like potatoes, this is a chemical change. Agree.

Boiling potatoes causes changes in the structure of the starch. Higher heat as in baking, roasting, or frying causes the development of a harder crust on the potato. This suggests that chemical changes have taken place.

When a candle burns, the wick of the candle and wax turn into nothing. Disagree.

The <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em> says that <em>you can’t turn matter into nothing</em>. What must be happening is that the wick and the wax are changing into other substances that we can’t see, such as colourless gases of carbon dioxide and water vapour.

The value of the equilibrium constant for the following chemical equation is Kr 40 at 25°C. Calculate the solubility of Al(OH)s(

dedylja [7]

Answer:

0,040 M

Explanation:

The global reaction of the problem is:

Al(OH) (s) + OH⁻ ⇄ Al(OH)₂⁻(aq) K= 40

The equation of equilibrium is:

K = $\frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)][OH^-]}$

The concentration of OH⁻ is:

pOH = 14 - pH = <em>3</em>

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻³

Thus:

40 = $\frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)][1x10^{-3}]}$

<em>0,04M = $\frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)]}$ </em>

This means that 0,04 M are the number of moles that the solvent can dissolve in 1L, in other words, solubility.

I hope it helps!

1. _ LiBr2 + __K2CO3 -->___ LiCO3 +_ KBr<br> Reaction Type:

Arada [10]

Answer:

Double displacement chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we firstly balance it:

$LiBr_2 +K_2CO3 \rightarrow LiCO3 +2KBr$

Then, since the lithium and potassium cations are being exchanged to each other from bromide and carbonate, we are talking about a double displacement chemical reaction.

Best regards.
