Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
Hope this helps :)

A 0.105 L sample of an unknown HNO 3 solution required 35.7 mL of 0.250 M Ba ( OH ) 2 for complete neutralization. What is the c

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: 0.17M

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is :

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 —> Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation, we obtain :

nA = mole of acid = 2

nB = mole of the base = 1

From the question, we obtain:

Va = Vol. Of acid = 0.105L

Ma = conc. Of acid =?

Vb = Vol of base = 35.7 mL = 0.0357L

Mb = conc. of base = 0.25M.

We solve for the conc. of the acid using:

MaVa / Mb Vb = nA / nB

(Ma x 0.105) / (0.25x0.0357) = 2

Cross multiply to express in linear form. We have:

Ma x 0.105 = 0.25 x 0.0357 x 2

Divide both side by 0.105. We have

Ma = (0.25 x 0.0357 x 2) / 0.105

Ma = 0.17M

Therefore the concentration of the acid(HNO3) is 0.17M

How are isotopes of the same chemical element alike? How are they different?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.

Explanation:

Isotopes are the chemical species of the same element having different number of neutrons.

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons present in that element.

Atomic Number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons contained in an atom.

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For isotopes, as the number of neutrons differ, the atomic mass also differs.

For Example: Carbon has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: $_6^{12}\textrm{C},_6^{13}\textrm{C}\text{ and }_6^{14}\textrm{C}$ . The atomic number remains the same but atomic mass differs.

Hence, for isotopes, the atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.

Calculate the amount of grams of water that was used when 5525J of energy was used to boil this amount of water.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

2.445 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Energy in the form of heat required to boil the water (Q): 5525 J

Latent heat of vaporization of water (∆H°vap): 2260 J/g

Mass of water (m): ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of water

We will use the following expression.

Q = ∆H°vap × m

m = Q / ∆H°vap

m = 5525 J / (2260 J/g)

m = 2.445 g

What is the pH of a 6.7 x 10^−5 M H+ solution?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

pH = 4.17

Explanation:

According to the molar concentration you stated, pH of the solution is: 4.17

Remember that pH = - log [H⁺]

and [H⁺] = 10^-pH

When:

pH > 7 → Basic solution

pH = 7 → Neutral solution

pH < 7 → Acid solution

if 5430 J of energy is used to heat 1.25 L of room temp. water (23.0 °C) whats the final temp of the water?

skelet666 [1.2K]

We can use the heat equation,
Q = mcΔT

Where Q is the amount of energy transferred (J), m is the mass of the substance (kg), c is the specific heat (J g⁻¹ °C⁻¹) and ΔT is the temperature difference (°C).

Density = mass / volume

The density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Hence mass of 1.25 L (1250 mL) of water = 0.997 g/mL x 1250 mL

= 1246.25 g

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/ g °C.

Let's assume that there is no heat loss to the surrounding and the final temperature is T.

By applying the equation,

5430 J = 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C x (T - 23) °C
(T - 23) °C = 5430 J / 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C
(T - 23) °C = 1.04 °C
T = 1.04 °C + 23 °C
T = 24.04 °C

Hence, the final temperature of the water is 24.04 °C.
