Which is it hard to seperate one. isotope from from another.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because isotopes of the same element only differ by a few neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14 isotopes which differ by 2 neutrons in their atomic nuclei.

Explanation:

Isotopes of the same element share the same chemical properties because they bear the same number of electrons (remember electrons are what are involved in chemical reactions). Therefore one can't use chemical methods to separate isotopes.

Separating isotopes require mechanical separation using ultra-high-speed centrifuges with very high-resolution power such that the little mass difference between the isotopes (due to differences in neutron numbers) can be used to separate them.

CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C. This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.

A sample of SO2 gas occupies 45.6 L at 373 K and 3.45 atm. This sample contains how many moles of oxygen atoms?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

10.28 mol

Explanation:

S + 2O = SO2

(atm x L) ÷ (0.0821 x K)

(3.45 x 45.6) ÷ (0.0821 x 373)

=5.13726

Then round it to significant figures

=5.14

5.14 mol SO2 x (2 mol O ÷ 1 mol SO2)

=10.28 mol O

To what volume should 25ml of 15m nitric acid be diluted to prepare a 3m solution
Maurinko [17]

We can use the dilution formula to find the volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

Substituting the values in the equation

15 M x 25 mL = 3 M x v2

v2 = 125 mL

The 25 mL concentrated solution should be diluted with distilled water upto 125 mL to make a 3 M solution

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission
Vesnalui [34]
Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.
