Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of phosphorus for which a=31? enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.g., 42he).

Chemistry

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

A = number of mass = 31 => number of protons + number of neutrons = 31

Phosphours, Z = atomic number = 15 = number of protons

Symbol of the element phosphorus = P

=> The symbol of the isotope is the symbol of the element, P, with the number of mass, 31, to the left, as a superscript, and the atomic number, 15, to the left, as a suscript.

What, if any, experimental evidence do you have that the equilibrium is affected by the addition of NaOH? How is this in accorda
vitfil [10]
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)

Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction.  If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).

Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.

Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate.  If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).

However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium.  This is not true.  The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.

TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate.  The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)

A neutral isotope has a mass number of 65 and 36 neutrons. Identify the element symbol of this isotope and determine the number
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Is an isotope of Cu (Copper)

Explanation:

Remember that the mass number will tell you the number of protons and neutrons. If you have the mass number(65) and the number of neutrons (36), you just need to subtract: 65 - 36 = 29 the number or protons.

As this is a neutral isotope, that means that is going to have the same number of protons and electrons, that is 29.

Is isopropyl alcohol the same as hydrogen peroxide
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Unlike isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide is not a type of alcohol. You might recognize its chemical formula, H2O2, as being similar to that of water (H2O). The difference is that hydrogen peroxide has two oxygen atoms instead of one. That one extra oxygen atom makes it a strong oxidizer.

What is the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.254 M CH3CH2COONa and 0.329 M CH3CH2COOH? Ka of propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH is 1.3
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

4.77 is the pH of the given buffer .

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})

pH=-\log[K_a]+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})

pH=-\log[K_a]+\log(\frac{[CH_3CH_2COONa]}{[CH_3CH_2COOH]})

We are given:

K_a = Dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 1.3\times 10^{-5}

[CH_3CH_2COONa]=0.254 M

[CH_3CH_2COOH]=0.329 M

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log[1.3\times 10^{-5}]+\log(\frac{[0.254 M]}{[0.329]})

pH = 4.77

4.77 is the pH of the given buffer .
