What are isotopes.....

1 answer:

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 would you test a colorless crystalline compound to determine if it was a hydrate?

Cloud [144]

A hydrate is a substance where in it contains water and other constituent elements. To know whether if that compound was a hydrate,you should record its mass, then put it in a test tube and heat it with a Bunsen burner. If the compound is a hydrate, the water in the compound will discharge in the form of water vapor. At the next 5-10 minutes, remove it in the test tube and weigh it up again. If the mass is now fewer, that means that there was water existing that has now evaporated, and the compound was a hydrate.

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$

Explanation :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Pb(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(g)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation reaction (anode) : $Pb(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction reaction (cathode) : $2Ag^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(g)$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.93 V

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.93$

$\Delta G^o=-179490J/mol=-179.49kJ/mol\approx -180kJ/mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of 'K'.

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K$

where,

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -180 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = $8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K$

T = temperature = 298 K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$-180kJ/mol=-(8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K)\times (298K)\times \ln K$

$K=3.6\times 10^{31}$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$

A scientist is conducting an experiment with sand. Some iron filings accidentally fell into the sand. What could the scientist u

anzhelika [568]

Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with

babymother [125]

Answer: Elements in Group 2

Explanation: The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically around similarites in their chemical behaviors. He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one. When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table. Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties. We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves. He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group. I big leap of faith, but it worked. Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.
