Explain why isotopes of the same element behave differently in nuclear reactions but not in chemical reactions.

An isotope is a chemical structure that is highly similar to its parent isotope, with the difference lying in the number of neutrons that the compound has. As an example, carbon has the elemental number 6, which means it has 6 protons. 12-carbon will have 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while 14-carbon will have 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The differing neutron numbers will have an affect on the nuclear reactions between these two compounds, but their chemical reactions will remain the same as the neutrons will not affect how they perform on a chemical level.

Answer:

Isotopes of the same element differ only in neutron numbers.

Nuclear reactions involve changes to the protons or neutrons in an atom’s nucleus, but not changes to its electrons.

Chemical reactions involve changes to the electrons in atoms, but not changes to its protons or neutrons.

Isotope behavior only differs when a reaction involves neutrons.

The most common source of copper (Cu) is the mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). How many kilograms of chalcopyrite must be mined to
diamong [38]

Answer:

0.693kg of CuFeS2 is needed to produce 240 grams of Cu.

Explanation:

In 1 mole of CuFeS2 is associated 1 mole of Cu.

Molar mass of CuFeS2 = 183.5 g/mol

Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

No of moles of copper present in 240g of chalcopyrite = 240/63.5 = 3.779moles

we know

1 mole of Cu → 1 mole of CuFeS2

in 3.779 moles of Cu → 3.779 moles of CuFeS2

3.779 moles of CuFeS2 = 3.779 * 183.5 = 693.45grams

CuFeS2 in kg = 0.693kg

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. that means, the total

Well all reactions need energy to start it. The light is the energy that the reaction requires to start it. Sunlight also has no mass in the first place so laws of conservation of mass don't apply to it.

How many joules are needed to change the temperate of 22g of water from 18°C to 33°C?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Q =  1379.4 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 22  g

Initial temperature = 18°C

Final temperature = 33°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g. °C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 33°C - 18 °C

ΔT =  15°C

Q = 522 g ×4.18 J/g.°C× 15°C

Q =  1379.4 J
