Answer:

B ratio of neutrons to protons

Explanation:

The stability of an atom is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus of an atom. The lager the ratio of neutrons to proton the lesser is the stability of the nucleus. The n to p ratio of higher atomic number that exist in a number of isotopic form is higher and their stability is low. The uranium 238 breaks down to lead 206.

What is the pOH of 0.5 M KOH?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

pOH = 0.3

Explanation:

As KOH is a strong base, the molar concentration of OH⁻ is equal to the molar concentration of the solution. That means that in this case:

  • [OH⁻] = 0.5 M

With that information in mind we can<u> calculate the pOH </u>by using the following formula:

  • pOH = -log[OH⁻]
  • pOH = -log(0.5)
  • pOH = 0.3

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 3.6-L bulb, then filled
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The gas was N₂

Explanation:

V = 3.6L

P = 2.0 atm

T = 24.0°C = 297K

R = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

m = 8.3g

M = molar mass = ?

Using ideal gas equation;

PV = nRT

n = no. Of moles = mass / molar mass

n = m/M

PV = m/M * RT

M = mRT / PV

M = (8.3*0.0821*297) / (2.0*3.6)

M = 28.10

Since X is a diatomic molecule

M = 28.10 / 2 = 14.05 g/mol

M = Nitrogen

X = N₂

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: 0.9375 g

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Moles of solute}={\text{Molarity of the solution}}\times{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.75 M

Volume of HCl solution = 25.0 mL = 0.025 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of} HCl={0.75}\times{0.025}=0.01875moles  

CaCO_3(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(s)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of HCl require = 1 mole of CaCO_3

Thus 0.01875 moles of HCl will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01875=0.009375moles  of CaCO_3

Mass of CaCO_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.009375moles\times 100g/mol=0.9375g

Thus 0.9375 g of CaCO_3 is required to react with 25.0 ml of 0.75 M HCl
