What nuclear particle determines the isotope of an atom?

2 answers:

The answer in my opinion would be Electrons, because neutrons don't have a charge, and the amount of protons is set in every element, the only nuclear particles that has a charge and can vary, are electrons.

Hope this helps!

What is the volume of a sample of liquid mercury that has a mass of 76.2g, given that the density of mercury is 13.6g/mL?

nignag [31]

Hey there!

D = m / V

13.6 = 76.2 / V

V = 76.2 / 13.6

V = 5.602 mL

MrRissso [65]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

The frequency factors for these two reactions are very close to each other in value. Assuming that they are the same, compute the ratio of the reaction rate constants for these two reactions at 25°C.

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=?$

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol

Answer:

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

$K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}$

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}$

$\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}$

where,

$K_2$ = rate constant reaction -1

$K_1$ = rate constant reaction -2

Activation energy of the reaction 1 , $Ea_1$ = 14.0 kJ/mol = 14,000 J

Activation energy of the reaction 2, $Ea_1$ = 11.9 kJ/mol = 11,900 J

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/ mol K

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298 K$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$\frac{K_1}{K_2}=e^{\frac{11,900- 14,000Jl}{8.314 J/mol K\times 298 K}}=2.3340$

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?

Phantasy [73]

Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}

Calculate the amount of copper (in moles) in a 45.2 g pure copper sheet

tangare [24]

Answer:

0.712 mol

Explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to use a proportion.

1 mol of copper = 63.5 grams (check this using your periodic table).

x mol of copper = 45.2 grams

1/x = 63.5 / 45.2 Cross multiply

63.5 x = 1 * 45.2 Divide by 63.5

x = 45.2/63.5

x = 0.712 mol Answer to 3 sig digs
