Why are some isotopes radioactive and some are not?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: there are atoms that either have too many or too few neutrons or protons in their nuclei. This results in an imbalance between the jedi forces holding them together, which leads to an excess of internal energy. Such atoms are said to be unstable or radioactive.

Which of the following pairs consists of a weak acid and a strong base? (1 point)
notka56 [123]

Answer:

acetic acid, sodium hydroxide

Explanation:

A strong acid is an acid that ionizes in water to give all its hydrogen ion. Weak acid only ionize to a certain degree. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) only ionize to give one hydrogen ion despite having other hydrogen atom. This account for its weak nature as an acid as shown below:

CH3COOH <=> H^+ + CH3COO^-

A strong base is a base that ionizes in water to give all it hydroxide ion. Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) ionizes to give all its hydroxide ions. This make it a strong base as shown below;

NaOH <=> Na^+ + OH^-

For the following reaction, 6.94 grams of water are mixed with excess sulfur dioxide . Assume that the percent yield of sulfurou
Alexxx [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

#a. Theoretical yield = 31.6 g

#b. Actual yield = 25.72 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between sulfur dioxide and water to form sulfurous acid is given by the equation;

SO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq)

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Mass of water that reacted is 6.94 g

#a. To get the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ we need to follow the following steps

Step 1: Calculate the moles of water

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 6.94 g

But, moles = Mass/molar mass

Moles of water = 6.94 g ÷ 18.02 g/mol

                        = 0.385 mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of H₂SO₃

From the equation, the mole ratio of water to H₂SO₃ is 1 : 1

Therefore, moles of water = moles of H₂SO₃

Hence, moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Step 3: Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃

Mass = moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of H₂SO₃ = 82.08 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol ×  82.08 g/mol

                                             = 31.60 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ is 31.6 g

<h3>#b. Calculating the actual yield</h3>

We need to calculate the actual yield

Percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Theoretical yield is 31.60 g

But; Percent yield = (Actual yield/theoretical yield)×100

Therefore;

Actual yield = Percent yield × theoretical yield)÷ 100

                   = (81.4 % × 31.6) ÷ 100

                  = 25.72 g

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 25.72 g

1) How does the oxpecker benefit?
Bezzdna [24]

Explanation:

1)

Oxpeckers are a type of small bird that land on zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on the zebra's skin. The oxpeckers get food and the zebras get pest control. ... Tapeworms get food by eating the host's partly digested food, depriving the host of nutrients.

2)i. Fast Speed. Basically, we can process data that is stored in HDFS at lightning-fast speed with traditional SQL knowledge, by using Impala.

ii. No need to Move Data. ...

iii. Easy Access. ...

iv. Short Procedure. ...

v. File Format. ...

vi. Big Data. ...

vii. Relational model. ...

viii. Languages.

3) A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans: protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

In the Internet, a hostname is a domain name assigned to a host computer. ... For example, en.wikipedia.org consists of a local hostname (en) and the domain name wikipedia.org. This kind of hostname is translated into an IP address via the local hosts file, or the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver.

4) Usually, although parasites harm their hosts, it is in the parasite's best interest not to kill the host, because it relies on the host's body and body functions, such as digestion or blood circulation, to live. Some parasitic animals attack plants.

5)The pollen sticks to the hummingbird and as the hummingbird goes to another cardinal flower for food the pollen is spread. This would qualify as a mutual relationship because both of the organisms benefit from the relationship. ... These two organisms have a relationship that is known as mutualism.

6)According to Campbell, moose populations are highest in areas 40 years after a major wildfire. But habitat loss is not the only probable cause of moose decline. Tiny ticks also could be a big problem. ... Without deep snow, then predators like wolves and mountain lions have an advantage over moose.”

Deforestation Led to Decline

The reasons why wolves have seen their population decimated mainly due to the diminishing forests in North America, where many of the wolves are found. Wolves were able to live in and survive in such an environment.

Write out the recipe and list all the ingredients (including the measures) of your favorite dish.
arsen [322]

The recipe for an omelet are:

<u>Ingredients</u>

  • 1 Egg
  • Salt and pepper ( 1 tablespoon )
  • Butter ( 1 tablespoon )

<u>Recipe:</u>

  • Turn on the heat and place a pan on it.
  • Add butter to the pan.
  • Crack the egg and whisk it properly.
  • Add the whisked omelet onto the pan and stir.
  • Add salt and pepper.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

When we turn on the heat and place the pan, a heat transfer takes place and heat transfers from one body to another.

When we add butter to the pan, then the temperature of the pan was more than that of the butter.

Since the melting point of butter was less than the temperature of the pan, the the melting of butter takes place.

When we add the egg, the evaporation of the liquid present in the egg yolk and the egg white takes place.

These are the chemical reactions depicted.

An isopropyl solution contains 70 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.8 L of water. What is the percent by volume of the alcohol
xenn [34]

Answer:

3.74%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1800 mL of water+ 70 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:   70/(1800+70) *100 = 0.0374*100 =  3.74%
