What is the mass number of C12,C13 and C14

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
3 0
Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 are isotopes of the element carbon. All carbon atoms have 6 protons in their nucleus and most have 6 neutrons. Since the mass number consists of # of protons + # of neutrons, Carbon 12 has an atomic mass of 12 ( = 6 protons + 6 neutrons). Carbon-13 atoms have one extra neutron, giving it a total of 7 neutrons. Carbon-14 atoms have two extra neutrons, giving them a total of 8 neutrons. Therefore the mass number of C-12= 12, C-13= 13 and C-14= 14.

What is an exothermic reaction? Combustion of fuel is an exothermic process. Explain why by providing an example of a fuel. Give
ad-work [718]

Answer:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which energy is given out to the surroundings in the form of heat or light or even sound.

Other explanations are given below.

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which energy is given out to the surroundings in the form of heat or light or even sound. In exothermic reactions, the energy content of the products are lower than that of the reactants and this excess energy is therefore released as the reaction proceeds towards formation of products.

Combustion of fuel is an exothermic reaction because the process involves the  release of energy in the form of heat and light to the surroundings as the reactants (usually a fuel and oxygen) which are at a higher energy state combine to give the products which are at a lower energy state (usually CO₂ and water).

An example of a fuel is the gas propane found in cooking gas. It combines with oxygen found in air to produce the heat that is used to cook our foods.

Other examples of exothermic reactions include

1.Lighting firewood: In this process, wood which is a mixture of gaseous fuels like methane and solid fuel like charcoal combine with oxygen found in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water vapor while releasing heating the process.

2. Lighting a match: The head of safety matches are made of potassium chlorate, mixed with sulfur, fillers and glass powder.  The side of the box contains red phosphorus, binder and powdered glass. When the match is struck, the friction generates heat which causes a small amount of red phosphorus to be converted to white phosphorus, which then ignites spontaneously in air.  The heat produced initiates the decomposition of potassium chlorate to give oxygen and potassium chloride.  The sulfur catches fire and ignites the wood which also burns in the air to release carbon (iv) oxide an water.

3. Burning of coal: Coal is solid carbon which combines with oxygen in air when ignited to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water vapor while also releasing heat and light energy.

3.04 Quiz: Chemical Reactions 1 to 10 question
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1. Chemical reactions

2.Substances

3. Properties

4. Precipitate

5. Light

6. Temperature

7. Color

8. Gas

Explanation:

During chemical reactions, new substances that possess new properties are formed. During the process of chemical reactions, evidences are found. Some of the evidences are formation of precipitate or light gel, production of gases and changes in color and temperature.

Chemical reactions start with the substances or compounds which are known as reactants. The reactants react to form new substances known as the products which possess new properties.

Which of the following expressions best represents a second order rate law?
Ksivusya [100]
I think the correct answer would be C. The expression that would best represent a second order rate law would be r =k[X][Y]. Reaction with this rate law are those that depend on the concentration of two first order reactants or a second order reactant.

A 2.00 kg piece of lead at 40.0°C is placed in a very large quantity of water at 10.0°C,and thermal equilibrium is eventually re
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Δ S = 26.2 J/K

Explanation:

The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula  -

Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )

Where ,

Δ S = change in entropy

m = mass  = 2.00 kg

Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .

T₂ = final temperature  10.0°C + 273 = 283 K

T₁ = initial temperature ,  40.0°C + 273 = 313 K

Applying the above formula ,

The change in entropy is calculated as ,

ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )  = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )

ΔS = 26.2 J/K
