How do carbon-12 and carbon-13 differ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

They have different amounts of neutrons.

They have different mass numbers.

Explanation:

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are two isotopes of the element carbon. The difference between carbon-12 and carbon-13 is the number of neutrons in each atom. Atoms of both isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons. Atoms of carbon-12 have 6 neutrons, while atoms of carbon-13 contain 7 neutrons. And because the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus then will be different too. Atoms of carbon-12 have the mass number equal to  12 a.m.u. while atoms of carbon-13  have the mass number equal to 13 a.m.u. .

a.m.u. - atomic mass units

The chemical equation below shows the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) from aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O2). 4Al 3O2 Right arro
Andrew [12]

Formation reaction is the formation of 1 mole of product from the constituents of the reactant molecules. The mass of oxygen that must react is 182 gm.

<h3>What is mass and molar mass?</h3>

Mass of the substance is the weight while the molar mass of the substance is the addition of the atomic mass of the individual mass of the constituent atoms of the compound or the molecule.

The chemical reaction can be shown as:

\rm 4 Al + 3 O_{2} \rightarrow 2 Al_{2}O_{3}

From the reaction, it can be said that 3 moles of oxygen are required to produce 2 moles of aluminium oxide, so x moles of oxygen will be required to produce 3.80 moles of aluminium oxide.

Solving for x:

\begin{aligned}\rm 2x &= 3.80\times 3\\\\\rm x &= \dfrac{11.4}{2}\\\\&= 5.7\;\rm mol\end{aligned}

If 1 mol of oxygen is 32 gm then 5.7 moles of oxygen will be 182.4 gm.

Therefore, option D. 182 gm is the mass of oxygen required.

Why is a saturated NaCl solution an example of an equilibrium system? A. Because of the reversible nature of solidifying and mel
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Option B, Because of the reversible nature of crystallizing and dissolving

Explanation:

Solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the given solvent at the particular temperature is called saturated solution.

Reversible reaction is the reaction which can go in reverse and forward direction both on varying reaction condition.

In the saturated NaCl solution, on lowering temperature, The the dissolved NaCl molecules may crystallize. Likewise on increasing temperature, the crystallized crystals may dissolved. As the reaction moves in both the direction, therefore its considered to be equilibrium system.

Therefore, amog given, option B is correct.

Because of the reversible nature of crystallizing and dissolving

The reaction between solid white phosphorous and oxygen produces solid tetraphosphorous decaoxide (P4010).
Alchen [17]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 25.0 g

Mass of oxygen = 50.0 g

What is limiting reactant ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄   +  5O₂       →      P₄O₁₀

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 25.0 g/ 123.89 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.20 mol

Number of moles of  O₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.56 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactants with product:

        P₄          :            P₄O₁₀

         1           :              1

      0.20       :          0.20

      O₂           :         P₄O₁₀

       5            :         1

     1.56         :        1/5×1.56 = 0.312 mol

Less number of moles of product are formed by the oxygen thus it will act as limiting reactant.
