Why are some isotopes radioactive and some are not?

1 answer:

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.

Sulfur burns in the air to form 33.6L of sulfur dioxide. (S = 32, O =16, 64g of sulfur dioxide has 22.4L, 32g of oxygen has 22.4

ivolga24 [154]

The mass of oxygen reacted/required in this reaction is obtained as 48g.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

The term stoichiometry has to do with mass- volume or mass - mole relationship which ultimately depends on the balanced reaction equation.

Now, we have the reaction; S + O2 ------>SO2

If 1 mole of sulfur dioxide contains 22.4 L

x moles of sulfur dioxide contains 33.6L

x = 1.5 moles of sulfur dioxide.

Since the reaction is 1:1, the number if moles of oxygen required/reacted is 1.5 moles.

Mass of oxygen required/reacted = 1.5 moles * 32 g/mol = 48g

in which of the following aqueous solutions would you expect AgCl to have the HIGHEST solubility?a) Pure Waterb) 0.015 M NaClc)

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Pure Water

Explanation:

The common ion effect describes the effect on equilibrium that occurs when a common ion (an ion that is already contained in the solution) is added to a solution. The common ion effect generally decreases solubility of a solute(Khan Academy).

NaCl, AgNO3, KCl, BaCl2 solutions all have a common ion with AgCl. As a result of this, AgCl will be much less soluble in these solvents than it is in pure water.

Therefore, AgCl will have the highest solubility in pure water compared to all the solutions listed above.

Consider the resonance structures of formate. the first lewis structure of formate has a central carbon atom. a hydrogen atom an

OleMash [197]

So,

Formate has a resonating double bond.

In molecular orbital theory, the resonating electrons are actually delocalized and are shared between the two oxygens. So the carbon-oxygen bonds can be described as 1.5-bonds (option B). I'm not sure if option C is correct, however, because the likelihood of both delocalized electrons being in the area of one oxygen atom is less than 50%.<span />

A 34.0 gram sample of an un-known hydrocarbon is burned in excess oxygen to form 93.5 grams of carbon dioxide and 76.5 grams of

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The answer to your question is CH₄

Explanation:

Process

1.- Write the possible chemical reaction

CxHy + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O

2.- Calculate the amount of carbon in the reaction

Molecular mass of CO₂ = 12 + 32 = 44 g

44 g of CO₂ ------------------- 12 g of carbon

93.5 g of CO₂ ---------------- x

x = (93.5 x 12) / 44

x = 25.5 g of carbon

3.- Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the sample

Molecular mass of water = 2 + 16 = 18 g

18 g of water ------------- 2 g of hydrogen

76.5 g of water -------- x g of hydrogen

x = (76.5 x 2) / 18

x = 8.5 g of hydrogen

4.- Calculate the moles of carbon and hydrogen in the sample

12g of carbon ------------- 1 mol

25.5g of carbon ---------- x

x = (25.5 x 1) / 12

x = 2.12 moles of carbon

1 g of hydrogen ----------- 1 mol

8.5 g of hydrogen -------- x

x = (8.5 x 1) / 1

x = 8.5 moles of hydrogen

5.- Divide both number of moles by the lowest number

carbon = 2.12 / 2.12 = 1

hydrogen = 2.12 = 8,5 / 2.12 = 4

6.- Write the molecular formula

CH₄
