Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have the same number if protons but a different number of neutrons.
Eg: Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons whereas Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 7 neutrons
Hope this helps :)

the density of air at ordinary atmospheric pressure and 25 degrees celcius is 1.19 g/L. what is the mass, in kilograms, of the a

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The mass of the air in the room is 50 kg.

V = lwh = 15.5 ft × 12.5 ft × 8 ft = 1550 ft³

1 ft = 12 in × $\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in}$ = 30.48 cm

V = 1550 ft³ × $(\frac{30.48 cm}{1 ft})^{3}$ = 4.39 × 10⁷ cm ³ = 4.39 × 10⁷mL = 4.39 × 10⁴ L

Mass = 4.39 × 10⁴ L × $\frac{1.119 g}{1 L}$ = 5.22 × 10⁴ g = 52.2 kg

Note: The answer can have only 1 significant figure, because that is all you gave for the height of the room.

To the correct number of significant figures, the mass of the air in the room is 50 kg.

Particle size directly affects which of the following spil properties?

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The size of soil particles is important. The amount of open space between the particles influences how easily water moves through a soil and how much water the soil will hold. Too much clay, in proportion to silt and sand, causes a soil to take in water very slowly. Such a soil gives up its water to plants slowly.

The equilibrium 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)⇌2NOCl(g) is established at 500 K. An equilibrium mixture of the three gases has partial pressures

QveST [7]

Answer:

For A: The $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B: The $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

For A:

The expression of $K_p$ for the above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{NOCl})^2}{(p_{NO})^2\times p_{Cl_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{NOCl}=0.24 atm\\p_{NO}=9.10\times 10^{-2}atm=0.0910atm\\p_{Cl_2}=0.174atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(0.24)^2}{(0.0910)^2\times 0.174}\\\\K_p=4.0\times 10^1$

Hence, the $K_p$ for the given reaction is $4.0\times 10^1$

For B:

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = $4.0\times 10^1$

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta ng$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.0\times 10^1=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_c=\frac{4.0\times 10^1}{(0.0821\times 500)^{-1})}=1642$

Hence, the $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1642.

An experiment was conducted and students observed that a solution had a hydroxide concentration of 7.0 x 10-2 .What is the pH? i

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is basic

Explanation:

as one of the characteristics of the base is to increase the OH concentration in a solution so if the solution has low concentration of OH this means that the solution is basic
