Answer:
hypochlorite ion
Explanation:
The hypochlorous acid, HClO, is a weak acid with Ka = 1.36x10⁻³, when this acid is in solution with its conjugate base, ClO⁻ (From sodium hypochlorite, NaClO) a buffer is produced. When a strong acid as HCl is added, the reaction that occurs is:
HCl + ClO⁻ → HClO + Cl⁻.
Where more hypochlorous acid is produced.
That means, the HCl reacts with the hypochlorite ion present in solution
That will make a gold-202 nucleus.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.
Step One: Bombard the
with a neutron
. The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of
. However, the atomic number will stay the same.
- New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
- Atomic number is still 80.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
Step Two: The
nucleus loses a proton
. Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.
- New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
- New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.
Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
Correct question
The density of liquid mercury is 13.6 g/mL. What is its density in units of lb/in3? (2.5 cm = 1 in., 2.205 lbs= 1 kg., 1000 g =1 kg, 1 mL = 1 cm³)
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that;-
The density = 13.6 g/mL
Also, 1 kg = 2.205 lb
1 kg = 1000 g
So, 1000 g = 2.205 lb
1 g = 0.002205 lb
Also,
1 in = 2.54 cm
1 in³ = 16.39 cm³
1 cm³ = 1 mL
So, 1 in³ = 16.39 mL
1 mL = 0.061 in³
The expression for the calculation of density is shown below as:-

Thus,
