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.

How do you know if a chemical reaction is balanced ?
Alenkasestr [34]

Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.

Hope this helps!

<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a sp^2 hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.

How many moles of propane<br> react when 294 g of CO2 form?<br><br> C3H8 +502 → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
tatiyna

2.23 moles of propane react when 294 g of CO₂ is formed .

<h3>What is moles ?</h3>

Moles is a unit which is equal to the molar mass of an element.

A reaction is given

C₃H₈ +50₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Grams of CO₂ formed = 294 gm

In moles = 294 /44 = 6.68 moles.

Let x be the moles of C₃H₈ is x

Mole ratio of CO₂ to C₃H₈ = 3 : 1

so

6.68 /x = 3/1

x = 6.68 /3 = 2.23 moles

Therefore 2.23 moles of propane react when 294 g of CO₂ is formed .
