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.

Identify the limiting reactant in the reaction of iron and chlorine to form FeCl3, of 22.7 g of Fe and 37.2 g of Cl2 are combine

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

3.13 g of Fe remains after the reaction is complete

Explanation:

The first step to begin is determine the reaction:

2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃

Let's find out the moles of each reactant:

22.7 g / 55.85 g/mol = 0.406 moles of Fe

37.2 g / 70.9 g/mol = 0.525 moles of Cl₂

Ratio is 2:3. 2 moles of iron react with 3 moles of chlorine

Then, 0.406 moles of iron will react with (0.406 . 3)/ 2 = 0.609 moles

We need 0.609 moles of chlorine when we have 0.525 moles, so as we do not have enough Cl₂, this is the limiting reactant.

The excess is the Fe. Let's see:

3 moles of chlorine react with 2 moles of Fe

Then, 0.525 moles of Cl₂ will react with (0.525 . 2) /3 = 0.350 moles

We need 0.350 moles of Fe and we have 0.406; as there are moles of Fe which remains after the reaction is complete, it is ok that Fe is the excess reagent.

0.406 - 0.350 = 0.056 moles of Fe still remains. We convert moles to mass:

0.056 mol . 55.85g / 1 mol = 3.13 g

At STP conditions, 0.25 mole of CO 2 (g), H 2 (g), NH 3 (g) will:

bija089 [108]

<span>1 mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 10^23 particles.

Hence 0.25 mole of any has will contain 0.25 x 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of that gas

They cannot contain the same no. of atoms as 1 molecule of CO2 contains 3 atoms, 1 molecule H2 contains 2 molecules, and 1 molecule of NH3 contain 4 atoms

1 molecule of any gas will occupy 22.4 L at STP

hence 0.25 mol of all of these gases accupy the same volume

all of these molecules have different molar masses. thus their g.f.w cannot be same

Your answer is that they will occupy the same volume, and the same number of molecules</span>

Photoelectrons are removed with kinetic energy 1.864×10^-21 J, when photons of light with energy 4.23×10^-19 J fall on the metal

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The minimum energy required to remove an electron from a potassium metal can be obtained by subtracting the energy of the incident photons from the kinetic energy of the removed photoelectrons. Based from the given values, the following equation is obtained:

Minimum energy required = 4.23×10^-19 J - <span>1.864×10^-21 J
</span>
We then get 4.2114 x 10^-19 J as the minimum energy required to remove the electron. We then convert this into units of energy per mole. This is to be done by using Avogadro's number which result to the following equation:

Minimum energy required per mole = 4.2114 x 10^-19 J x 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1

The final answer is then 253.608 kJ/mol
