Answer:

For isotopes, the difference between the mass number and number of neutrons is constant.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

Number of neutrons in an atom can be obtained by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.

So in other words , isotopes are atoms for which the difference between the mass number and number of neutrons is constant.

For example, Hydrogen,Deuterium and Tritium are isotopes of Hydrogen in which the difference between mass number and number of neutrons is 1.

The empirical formula : C. C₁₆H₁₅N₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

12.5 g of aniline

7.1 grams of H2O

1.48 grams of N2

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

Reaction :

mass H in H₂O :

= 2.1/18 x 7.1 g

= 0.79

mass N = 1.48

mass C :

= 12.5 g-(mass H+mass N)

= 12.5 - (0.79+1.48)

= 10.23

Mol ratio C : H : N =

= 10.23/12 : 0.79/1 : 1.48/14

= 0.853 : 0.79 : 0.106

= 8 : 7.5 : 1

= 16 : 15 : 2

A 275-mL f lask contains pure helium at a pressure of 752 torr. A second f lask with a volume of 475 mL contains pure argon at a

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The partial pressure of Helium is 275.7 torr

The partial pressure of argon is 457.3 torr

The total pressure is 733 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume helium flask = 275 mL = 0.275L

Pressure in helium flask = 752 torr

Volume argon flask = 475 mL = 0.475 L

Pressure in argon flask = 722 torr

Step 2: Calculate the total volume of the gas mixture once the stopcock is opened.

Total volume = volume of Helium flask + volume argon flask

Total volume = 275 + 475 = 750 mL = 0.750 L

Step 3: Calculate partial pressure of Helium

pHe *VHe = p'He * Vtotal

⇒ with pHe = the pressure of Helium = 752 torr

⇒ with VHe = the volume in the helium flask = 275 mL

⇒ with p'He = the partial pressure of helium = To be determined

⇒with Vtotal = the total volume = 750 mL

p'He = (pHe*VHe)/Vtotal

p'He = (752*275)/750

p'He = 275.7 torr

Step 4: Calculate partial pressure of Argon

pAr *VAr = p'Ar * Vtotal

⇒ with pAr = the pressure of Argon = 722 torr

⇒ with VAr = the volume in the Argon flask = 475 mL

⇒ with p'Ar = the partial pressure of argon = To be determined

⇒with Vtotal = the total volume = 750 mL

p'Ar = (pAr * VAr)/Vtotal

p'Ar = (722*475)/750

p'Ar = 457.3 torr

Step 5: Calculate the total pressure

Total pressure = partial pressure Helium + partial pressure Argon

Total pressure = 275.7 torr + 457.3 torr = 733 torr

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From left to right, the oxides across period 3;

i) Period 3 oxides all appear white in colour. They are all crystalline solids and their melting points decrease from left to right.

ii) The volatility of period 3 oxides increases from left to right across the periodic table

iii) The metallic oxides on the right hand side adopt giant ionic structures. Silicon oxide which is in the middle of the period forms a giant covalent structure. Oxides of other elements towards the right hand side form molecular oxide structures.

iv) The acidity of oxides of period 3 increases from left to right. Metals on the left hand side form basic oxides while non-metals on the right hand side form acidic oxides. The oxide of aluminium in the middle is amphoteric.

v) The oxides of period 3 elements do not conduct electricity. However, the metallic oxides on the lefthand side conduct electricity in molten state. The non-metallic oxides on the right hand side are molecular hence they do not conduct electricity under any circumstance.
