1 answer:

8 0

The scientists produced an adhesive that was made from carbon nano tubes. The adhesive has two different layers; the lower layer is composed of vertically aligned nano tubes while the upper layer is made up of curly nano tubes that are spaghetti - like in shape.
The adhesive device produced can hold a maximum force of 700 pounds while adhering to a smooth surface.<span />

Which of the following are isotopes, choose all that apply.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Element X with atomic number 10 and atomic mass 21

Element Z with atomic number 10 and atomic mass 22

Explanation:

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

Isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration.
They share the same chemical properties
They only differ in their masses.

So, Element X and Z with atomic number 10 which is their number of electrons are isotopes. Their mass number, 21 and 22 differs.

When solving an equation using Gay-Lussac's law, which of the following steps do not apply? A. List your knowns and unknowns. B.

suter [353]

Answer:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For a constant mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where

p1 is the initial pressure

T1 is the initial temperature (in Kelvin)

p2 is the final pressure

T2 is the final temperature (in Kelvin)

Therefore, in order to solve for one of the 4 variables, the following steps must be adopted:

A. List your knowns and unknowns.

B. Convert temperature to kelvin.

D. Solve for the unknown.

While the following step is not needed:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Because we do not need to use the ideal gas law formula.
