<span>nuclear symbol consists of three parts: 1. the symbol of the element; 2. the atomic number of the element;3. the mass of the element. for the above problem, the symbol for potassium is k. it's atomic number is 40. the number of protons is 19. so we denote this in the following nuclear symbol; 40 k 19</span>

The nuclear symbol for potassium is ⁴⁰₁₉K.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

  • The nuclear symbol is typically used to represent isotopes of an atom. Isotopes are variations of atoms of an element. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons than other forms of the atom.
  • The nuclear symbol has three parts: symbol of the element, the atomic number, and the mass number. The general notation for the nuclear symbol of an element is: ᵃₙX   where a is the mass number and n (or typically z) is the atomic number.
  • The mass number, a, is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of a neutral atom.
  • The difference between the mass number and the atomic number is the number of neutrons in the isotope.
  • Another notation used to represent isotopes is the hyphen notation. This notation uses the name of the element, a hyphen followed by the mass number of the isotope. For example, the isotope ¹²₆C can also be represented using the hyphen notation as carbon - 12.

<em>For the nuclear symbol of potassium, it is necessary to find the atomic number of potassium from the periodic table of elements. This number is equal to 19 which means that potassium has 19 protons. The symbol for potassium is K and its mass number as given in the problem is 40. Therefore, the nuclear symbol is </em><em>⁴⁰₁₉K.</em>

Calculate the change in pH when 71.0 mL of a 0.760 M solution of NaOH is added to 1.00 L of a solution that is 1.0O M in sodium
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

It is known that pK_{a} value of acetic acid is 4.74. And, relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

                    pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COOH]}{[CH_{3}COONa]}

                          = 4.74 + log \frac{1.00}{1.00}

So, number of moles of NaOH = Volume × Molarity

                                                   = 71.0 ml × 0.760 M

                                                    = 0.05396 mol

Also, moles of  CH_{3}COOH = moles of CH_{3}COONa

                                          = Molarity × Volume

                                          = 1.00 M × 1.00 L

                                          = 1.00 mol

Hence, addition of sodium acetate in NaOH will lead to the formation of acetic acid as follows.

            CH_{3}COONa + NaOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COOH

Initial :    1.00 mol                                  1.00 mol

NaoH addition:               0.05396 mol

Equilibrium : (1 - 0.05396 mol)    0           (1.00 + 0.05396 mol)

                    = 0.94604 mol                       = 1.05396 mol

As, pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COONa]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

               = 4.74 +  log \frac{0.94604}{1.05396}

               = 4.69

Therefore, change in pH will be calculated as follows.

                         pH = 4.74 - 4.69

                               = 0.05

Thus, we can conclude that change in pH of the given solution is 0.05.

Plz someone help, really struggling
frez [133]

Answer:

22.9 Liters CO(g) needed

Explanation:

2CO(g)     +   O₂(g)    =>    2CO₂(g)

? Liters          32.65g

                 = 32.65g/32g/mol

                 =   1.02 moles O₂

Rxn ratio for CO to O₂ = 2 mole CO(g) to 1 mole O₂(g)

∴moles CO(g) needed = 2 x 1.02 moles CO(g) = 2.04 moles CO(g)

Conditions of standard equation* is STP (0°C & 1atm) => 1 mole any gas occupies 22.4 Liters.

∴Volume of CO(g) = 1.02mole x 22.4Liters/mole = 22.9 Liters CO(g) needed

___________________

*Standard Equation => molecular rxn balanced to smallest whole number ratio coefficients is assumed to be at STP conditions (0°C & 1atm).
