Chemistry

<u>¹⁴₇N</u><u> </u>is the more stable isotope

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

We have ¹⁴₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of one, and we look at ¹⁸₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of 1.57 Again, you look at table 24 to and you see the atomic number of seven and there is really no stable isotope. It has any more than 10 neutrons.

When we have eight, protons will go down seven protons. There's really nothing stable that has more than maybe eight neutrons. So the fact that we have 11 neutrons with ¹⁸₇N suggests that this is very unstable and

¹⁴₇N is the stable isotope of the pair.

<h3>Stable and Unstable Nuclei</h3>

An atom is electrically neutral. It contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons and their charges balance. The nucleus however contains only positively charged protons which are closely packed together in a very small volume (remember neutrons have no charge).

From the laws of physics (Coulomb’s Law) one would expect that the protons being of the same charge and so close together would exert strong repulsive forces on each other. The combined gravitational force from the protons and neutrons in a nucleus is insignificant as an attractive force because their masses are so tiny.

This implies there must be an additional attractive force similar in size to the electrostatic repulsion which holds the nucleus together.

Determine the pHpH of an HFHF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying
PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? (K_a for HF is 6.8\times 10^{-4}.)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}

HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-

Initially

c          0            0

At equilibrium :

(c-x)      x             x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}

K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}

6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

[H^+]=x=0.01346 M

The pH of the solution is ;

pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

The dimensions of a cupboard are 1.31 m wide
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The volume of cupboard is 2.0043 m³.

Explanation:

Given data:

width of cupboard = 1.31 m

length of cupboard = 0.9 m

height of cupboard = 1.70 m

Volume = ?

Solution:

Volume = length × width × height

Volume = 0.9 m × 1.31 m × 1.70 m

Volume = 2.0043 m³

The volume of cupboard is 2.0043 m³.

Consider the energy diagram below. xn. mc012-1.jpg Which line indicates a higher reaction rate? A because it has a lower activat
34kurt

Answer is: B because it has a lower activation energy.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start), activation energy for reaction B is lower that for reaction A.

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst.

Chemical reactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.
