Answer:
add 7.5L of water
Explanation:
M1×V1=M2×V2
M is molarity, V is volume
0.7 × 10 = 0.4 × V2
V2= 17.5L
vol. of water to add= 17.5 - 10 = 7.5L
Answer:
3. An oxygen atom with 8 electrons, 8 protons, and 9 neutrons .
Explanation:
if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being neutral.
Answer:
63. 55 amu
Explanation:
Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.
Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.
Similarly,
Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%
Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:
Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu
Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu
Answer:
BaO
Explanation:
The barium oxide chemical formula is BaO. The molar mass is 153.33 g/mol. The molecule is formed by one barium cation Ba2+ and one oxide anion O2-. Both ions are bound by one ionic bond.
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
- Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
-
Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>
<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
b. change into a different element altogether.
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
- <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
- <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
-
Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
