How do you perform calculations relating to isotopes. describe please

Chemistry

Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago

Explanation:

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but i will attempt to answer.

Isotopes are variations of the same atom. They have the same number of protons but have a different number of neutrons. As a result of this, the atomic number remains the same but the mass number changes.

A calculation you could perform in relation to isotopes would be calculating the relative atomic mass. The relative atomic mass is the weighted average of masses of isotopes.

Relative atomic mass (RAM)= the addition of

\frac{relative \: isotopic \: mass \times percentage \: abundance}{100 }

For example, the element Indium has a relative isotopic mass of 112.90406, 4.29% of the time. It has a relative isotopic mass of 114.903878, 95.71% of the time.

From this

RAM=

\frac{112.904061 \times 4.29}{100}  +  \frac{114.903878 \times 95.71}{100}  = 114.8(4 \: sig \: figs)

Calculate the solubility at 25°C of CuBr in pure water and in a 0.0120M CoBr2 solution. You'll find Ksp data in the ALEKS Data t
iragen [17]

Answer:

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M

Explanation:

To calculate the solubility of CuBr in pure water (S) we will use an ICE Chart. We identify 3 stages (Initial-Change-Equilibrium) and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration. Let's consider the solution of CuBr.

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0             0

C                     +S           +S

E                       S             S

The solubility product (Ksp) is:

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S²

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

<u>Solubility in 0.0120 M CoBr₂ (S')</u>

First, we will consider the ionization of CoBr₂, a strong electrolyte.

CoBr₂(aq) → Co²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)

1 mole of CoBr₂ produces 2 moles of Br⁻. Then, the concentration of Br⁻ will be 2 × 0.0120 M = 0.0240 M.

Then,

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0           0.0240

C                     +S'           +S'

E                       S'            0.0240 + S'

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S' . (0.0240 + S')

In the term (0.0240 + S'), S' is very small so we can neglect it to simplify the calculations.

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M

Refer to the electron distribution to answer 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s¹. What would be the period or series number of
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

C.5

Explanation:

A number of electrons present in valence shell of penultimate Shell represents the group of elements.

For s block elements: no.of group=number of valence shell electron.

p block elements: no. of group= 2 + 10 + number of valence electrons.

d block elements: no. of group= number(n-1)d electrons + number of electrons in nth shell.

Here, the differential electron is in p orbital hence, it belongs to p block

No. of group= 2+ 10 + 3=15 i.e 15th group or VA group.

In order to identify a mineral, you must examine just one of its physical properties.
levacccp [35]
Actually, to examine it physically, then you could use a physical property that shows it's appearance. To examine its bonds etc, you'd need a chemical property. So, False.

You have a sample that has a h3o+ concentration of 1.25 x 10-5 m. what would be the [oh-]?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 8x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴

Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ = 1.25x10⁻⁵ . [OH⁻]

1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1.25x10⁻⁵ = [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = 8x10⁻¹⁰
