First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.
The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus.
</u>
The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,
<em>(see first attached picture)</em>
It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.
<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:
Z = 83
A = 83 + 125 = 208
Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:
<em>(see second attached picture)</em>
2,8,3 because Aluminium has the Atomic Number 13
Answer: read your book
Explanation: if you read it should be in there
Answer:
1.60.
Explanation:
- The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
- The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.
<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>
<em></em>
∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.
∵ pH = - log[H⁺]
<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>
