Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Nickel and carbon monoxide react to form nickel carbonyl, like this: (s)(g)(g) At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a

horsena [70]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Nickel and carbon monoxide react to form nickel carbonyl, like this:

$Ni(s)+4CO(g)\rightarrow Ni(CO)_4(g)$

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 2.6 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nickel, carbon monoxide, and nickel carbonyl at equilibrium has the following composition:

Compound Amount

Ni 12.7 g

CO 1.98 g

$Ni(CO)_4$ 0.597 g

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant.

Answer: The value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 2448.1

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of nickel = 12.7 g

Mass of CO = 1.98 g

Mass of $Ni(CO)_4$ = 0.597 g

Volume of container = 2.6 L

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

$\text{Equilibrium concentration of nickel}=\frac{12.7}{58.7\times 2.6}=0.083M$

$\text{Equilibrium concentration of CO}=\frac{1.98}{28\times 2.6}=0.0272M$

$\text{Equilibrium concentration of }Ni(CO)_4=\frac{0.597}{170.73\times 2.6}=0.00134M$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni(s)+4CO(g)\rightarrow Ni(CO)_4(g)$

The expression of equilibrium constant for the reaction:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[Ni(CO)_4]}{[CO]^4}$

Concentrations of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_{eq}=\frac{0.00134}{(0.0272)^4}\\\\K_{eq}=2448.1$

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for the reaction is 2448.1

What is precipitation in formation of salts?

seraphim [82]

Answer:A precipitation reaction refers to the formation of an insoluble salt when two solutions containing soluble salts are combined. The insoluble salt that falls out of solution is known as the precipitate, hence the reaction's name. Precipitation reactions can help determine the presence of various ions in solution.

2HgCl2(aq) + C2O42–(aq) → 2Cl–(aq) +2CO2(g) + Hg2Cl2(s)

alexgriva [62]

Explanation:

Expression for rate of the given reaction is as follows.

Rate = k[HgCl_{2}]x [C_{2}O^{2-}_{4}]y[/tex]

Therefore, the reaction equations by putting the given values will be as follows.

$1.8 \times 10^{-5} = k[0.105]x [0.15]y$ ............. (1)
