Answer:

Knowing that boron has an atomic mass of 10,811 means that all boron isotopes on average weigh 10,811 u.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom is the mass of the atom measured in u (unified atomic mass unit), although we can also express it as Da (Dalton's unit)

Atomic mass refers to the average mass that all isotopes of that element have.

When we speak of isotopes we are referring to the element itself but with a different number of neutrons, which makes it modify its mass number.

The good ozone protects us from the UV/ harmful radiations whereas bad ozone is an air pollutant.

Explanation:

There are two types of ozone layer found in the earth's atmosphere extending from troposphere to stratosphere. They are good ozone and bad ozone.
Bad ozone as mentioned earlier it is an air pollutant and found in the ground level of earth, most accurately the troposphere. Bad ozone is formed in the ground level of earth's atmosphere by the reaction between nitrogen oxides and organic compounds which are volatile
The Good ozone is found in the stratosphere layer of the earth's atmosphere. They protect us from harmful radiations. Good ozone layer in the stratosphere of the atmosphere is being destroyed by hydrocarbons, CFCs, and human intervention

An atom or ion has 41 neutrons, 36 protons, and 36 electrons. Identify the clement symbol, and determine the mass

Paul [167]

The atom is krypton and its symbol is Kr.

the mass number is 41 + 36 = 77

its charge is 0 as it is a noble gas.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) > Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?

torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation $H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$ is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation $2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$ is 3.

Explanation:

For the chemical equation:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

$H_3PO_4$ is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product $Li_3PO_4$ is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

Net ionic equation becomes:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 1.

For the chemical equation:

$2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

HBr and $Co(OH)_2$ are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, $CoBr_2$ is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

The net ionic equation becomes:

$H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 3.

Increasing the temperature increases the vaporization rate of a liquid because the excess energy is used to break covalent bonds

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False. The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds). When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.

Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).

A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.
