Answer:

a) The similarities in their structure are;

1) The two isotopes have the same number of protons in their nucleus

2) The two isotopes have the same number of electrons in their orbit

3)The basic chemical properties of the two isotopes are the same

b) The differences in their structure are;

1) The number of neutrons in their nucleus are different

6 for carbon 12 and 8 for carbon 14

2) The structure of carbon 12 is stable while the structure of carbon 14 disintegrates

3) The isotopes have different densities, therefore, different packing

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

The mass number is the sum or total number of protons and neutrons in an atom

Given that the atomic number of all carbon atoms = 6

The number of protons in all carbon atoms = 6

Given that some of the carbon atoms have a mass number of 12 while others have a mass number 14, we have

Therefore, the number of neutrons in some of the carbon atoms = 12 - 6 = 6

The number of neutrons  in the remaining of carbon atoms = 14 - 6 =  8

Therefore the carbon atom has two isotopes including ¹²₆C and ¹⁴₆C.

What happens with valence electrons to form a chemical bond?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond. If the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond. Both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Which statement describes the reaction involved in cellular respiration?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

i think its b

Explanation:

if you removed the C02 from the atmosphere that

willl make the 02 and it will

released for the atmosphere

which means, Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2. Respiration takes O2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with CO2. However, these processes are not in balance. Not all organic matter is oxidized.   photosynthesis mean if you dont know: Photosynthesis – plants produce their own food in the form of glucose using the process of photosynthesis. This process uses sunlight (and so only occurs during the day) to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen.

this is why the CO2 is removed and the 02 is released into the atmosphere,   Consumers such as animals, fungi, and bacteria get their energy from this excess biomass either while living or dead and decaying. Oxygen from the atmosphere is combined with carbohydrates to liberate the stored energy. ... Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.

and if the CO2 is release from the atmosphere this will happen --> Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. ... Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating CO2 effects the wither,   Scientists say that if CO2 doubles, it could raise the average global temperature of the Earth between two and five degrees Celsius. We are already increasing the amount of energy that bounces back to the Earth. Because of the greenhouse effect, this is causing global warming with its many destructive impacts.     im sorry that i gave alot of facts my teacher said its good to add alot of facts some of my thoughts thank you i hope you get this right :)

You need to prepare 0.2 liters of a 0.1 M solution of a phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.2. If you have solid K2HPO4 (FW=136.09)
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

To prepare 0,2 L of a 0,1M solution of a phosphate buffer to a pH of 7,2 you need to add 1,05 mL of 6M HCl, 2,722 g of K₂HPO₄ and complete 0,2 L with water.

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of phosphate buffer for a pH of 7,2 is:

H₂PO₄⁻ ⇄ HPO₄²⁻+ H⁺ pka = 6,86

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[HPO_{4}^{2-}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^-]}

7,2 = 6,86 + log₁₀ \frac{[HPO_{4}^{2-}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^-]}

2,18776 =  \frac{[HPO_{4}^{2-}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^-]}<em> (1)</em>

You need to add 0,2L× 0,1M = 0,02 moles of phosphate buffer, that means:

0,02 moles = H₂PO₄⁻ + HPO₄²⁻ <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

H₂PO₄⁻: <em>6,2739x10⁻³ moles</em>

Thus,

HPO₄²⁻: 0,013726 moles

K₂HPO₄ reacts with HCl thus:

K₂HPO₄ + HCl → KH₂PO₄ + KCl

Thus, you need to add 0,02 moles of K₂HPO₄ that will react with 6,2739x10⁻³ moles of HCl To produce the necessary moles for the buffer:

0,02 moles of K₂HPO₄× \frac{136,09 g}{1 mole} = <em>2,722 g</em>

6,2739x10⁻³ moles of HCl÷ 6 M = 1,05x10⁻³ L ≡<em> 1,05 mL of 6M HCl</em>

Thus, to prepare 0,2 L of a 0,1M solution of a phosphate buffer to a pH of 7,2 you need to add 1,05 mL of 6M HCl, 2,722 g of K₂HPO₄ and complete 0,2 L with water.
