Calcium is used to isolate Rb from molten RbX because calcium has a smaller atomic radius than rubidium.

A chemical element's atomic radius, which is typically the average or typical distance between the nucleus's core and the outermost isolated electron, serves as a gauge for the size of an atom. There are numerous non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius since the border is not a clearly defined physical entity. Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, metallic radius, and covalent radius are the four most frequently used definitions of atomic radius. Atomic radii are typically measured in a chemically bound condition since it is challenging to isolated individual atoms in order to measure their radii individually.

How would exercising, sleeping well, eating healthy foods, and receiving recommended vaccines affect a person's immunity?
notsponge [240]
With the lack of these 3 factors you throw off your health triangle and your health is unbalanced. When you eat well you can get vitamins such as "E" and "C". These vitamins help build up immune cells that help build the immune system. When a person does not get enough sleep that person is more open to viruses and bacteria. Getting the recommended vaccines help you to fight off possible diseases or illnesses. They make you immune system stronger so you can be healthier.

If 20 grams of Zinc phosphate reacts with excess hydrochloric acid and produces 18 grams of Zinc chloride what is the percent yi
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Y=85\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the balanced chemical reaction, we are first able to realize there is a 1:3 mole ratio between zinc phosphate and zinc chloride; it means that we can first compute the moles of the desired product via stoichiometry:

n_{ZnCl_2}=20gZn_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}{386.11gZn_3(PO_4)_2}*\frac{3molZnCl_2}{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}=0.16gZnCl_2

Next, since those moles are associated with the theoretical yield of zinc chloride, we obtain the corresponding mass:

m_{ZnCl_2}^{theoretical}=0.16molZnCl_2*\frac{136.29gZnCl_2}{1molZnCl_2} =21gZnCl_2

Finally, we compute the percent yield by diving the actual yield (18 g) by the theoretical yield:

Y=\frac{18g}{21g}*100\%\\\\Y=85\%

Best regards!

sergey [27]

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.

HW) Aspirin Poisoning
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is: the body contains chemicals called buffers that resist changes in pH

When you exercise vigorously, the muscle will produce more carbon dioxide which will makes the blood more acidic. Human blood have some mechanism that could prevent the blood pH to stray further from the optimal range. One of the buffer that keep carbon dioxide acidity would be sodium bicarbonate.
