<span><span>1) Calculate the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nuclide
<span>--> If the number of nucleons is even, there is a good chance it is stable.
</span></span><span><span>
2) Are there a magic number of protons or neutrons?
</span>--> 2,8,20,28,50,82,114 (protons), 126 (neutrons), 184 (neutrons) are particularly stable in nuclei.
</span><span>
3) Calculate the N/Z ratio.
<span>--> Use the belt of stability (Figure 1) to determine the best way to get from an unstable nucleus to a stable nucleus</span></span></span>

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

There are two isotopes of an unknown element, X-19 and X-21. The abundance of X-19 is 14.55%. A weighted average uses the percen
alekssr [168]

Answer:

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Explanation:

The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:

X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21

The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:

19.00amu * 0.1455 =

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Pressure is this sample?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

P = 164 Atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT => P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

T = 27.0°C = 300 K

V = 1.50 Liters

P = (10.0 mol)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K )(300 K)/(1.50 Liters) = 164.12 Atm ≅ 164 Atm (3 sig. figs.)

Archy [21]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of liquid = 15 mL

density = 2.5 g/mL

We have

mass = 15 × 2.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>37.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
