Answer: The isotopic symbol of element is $_{32}^{72}\textrm{Ge}$

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'Z'

Z = Atomic number = Number of protons

Mass number of an element is defined as the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'A'.

A = Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

We are given:

Number of protons = Atomic number = 32

Mass number = 72

The element having atomic number as 32 is germanium

Hence, the isotopic symbol of element is $_{32}^{72}\textrm{Ge}$

Which equation is used to help form the combined gas law? eP, V, P, V, т.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The combined gas law is formulated from PV/T =K.

Explanation:

The combined gas law comprises of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay lusaac's law. This laws were not discovered but simply put together considering other cases of ideal gas law. It states that if the amount of gas is left unchanged, the ratio between the pressure, volume, and temperature is constant.

The valences of metal x,y and z are 1,2 and 3 respectively. What are the formulae of their;a) hydroxides, b) sulphates, c) hydro

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

If $\Delta \chi=0$ , then the bond is non-polar.
If $\Delta \chi\leq 1.7$ , then the bond will be covalent.
If $\Delta \chi>1.7$ , then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

$\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1$

As, $\Delta \chi$ is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.

When the reaction mixture is worked-up, it is first washed three times with 5% sodium bicarbonate, and then with a saturated nac

Ann [662]

Solution:

After the reaction of mixture is worked-up Washing three times the organic with sodium carbonate helps to decrease the solubility of the organic layer into the aqueous layer. This allows the organic layer to be separated more easily.

And then the reaction washed by saturated NACL we have The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (otherwise known as brine). The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer.
