Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.
The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".
Answer:
2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed
Explanation:
The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂
By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.
By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3
Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:
10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g = 0.0377 moles
We apply a rule of three:
1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react
Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen
We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P
V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L
