What are isotopes.....

Chemistry
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
6 0
The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses. Mass is the word for how much substance (or matter) something has.

Isotopes are atom families that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons


Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

How many atoms are in 13.97 liters of water vapor at STP
Arisa [49]
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
                                          n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.

According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span>                                                                = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>

What are atoms made of
fomenos

Atoms are made of subatomic particles known as protons, neutrons, and electrons.

(Small bonus: in order to mimic the technology of replicators like in star trek, you need to mess with protons, neutrons, and electrons) (pls dont report)

1. Be able to convert atm’s to kPa’s. (how?)
Whitepunk [10]
1.) 0.875atm x 760.0 mmHg/atm
2.)    8I
        7I                                        0
        6I                                      0
        5I                                    0
        4I                                  0
        3I                                0
        2I--------- 000000000 0I
        1I-0------------------------ I---------------        
         0             50             100           150
                      Boiling point(degrees Celsius)
3.) The warmer the molecules are the faster they move like boiling water the gases are coming out of the water
4.)no clue
5.) A {solution} is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are the molecule in size. The solution is homogeneous and does not settle out. A solution cannot be filtered but can be separated using the process of distillation.

A {suspension} is cloudy and heterogeneous. The particles are larger than 10,000 Angstroms which allows them to be filtered. If a suspension is allowed to stand the particles will separate out.

<span>A {colloid} is intermediate between a solution and a suspension. While a suspension will separate out a colloid will not. Colloids can be distinguished from solutions using the Tyndall effect. Light passing through a colloidal dispersion, such as smoky or foggy air, will be reflected by the larger particles and the light beam will be visible. A hydrocolloid can simply be defined as a substance that forms a gel when it comes in contact with water. Such substances include both polysaccharides and proteins.
6.)</span><span>The random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a liquid or gas, caused by collisions with molecules of the surrounding medium. Also called Brownian motion, molecular movement, pedesis.
