grin007 [14]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Unstable isotopes are defined as the isotopes which have excess of neutrons as compared to the stable form of the nucleus of an atom.

These isotopes attain stability by undergoing a spontaneous nuclear decay. The isotopes which are unstable have another name and are known as radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.

These isotopes undergoes decay by 4 processes: Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma emission and positron decay.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in NO is 7.0:8.0. Identify the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in NO2 and N2O7 .
Rus_ich [418]

This problem is providing the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in nitrogen monoxide, NO, as 7.0:8.0 and asks for the same ratio but in NO₂ and N₂O₇. After doing the calculations, the results are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively.

<h3>Mass ratios:</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the mass ratios in chemical formulas according to the atomic mass of each atom. In such a way, one knows the mass ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in NO is 7.0:8.0 because we divide the atomic mass of nitrogen by oxygens:

\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7.0}{8.0}

Now, for chemical formulas with subscripts, one must multiply the atomic mass of the element by the subscript in the formula, which is the case of NO₂ and N₂O₇ as shown below:

NO_2:\frac{14}{16*2}=\frac{14}{32} =\frac{7.0}{16.0}  \\&#10;\\&#10;N_2O_7:\frac{14*2}{16*7}=\frac{28}{112} =\frac{1.0}{4.0}

Therefore, the results for NO₂ and N₂O₇ are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively

Equal amounts of N2 and O2 are added, under certain conditions, to a closed container. Which changes occur in the reverse reacti
geniusboy [140]
1) The forward reaction is N2 (g) + O2 (g)  → 2NO

(that reaction requires special contitions because at normal pressures and temperatures N2 and O2 do not react to form another compound.

2) The equiblibrium equation is

  N2 (g) + O2 (g)  ⇄ 2NO

3) Then, the reverse reaction is

2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)

Answer: 2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)

Which of the following options would be the best for dissolving PbBr2(s)?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

2) Add a solution of NaBr

Explanation:

Lead (II) bromide is an inorganic powdery substance that has a solubility in water of 0.973 g/100 mL at 20°C. It is insoluble in alcohol but is soluble in alkali, ammonia, NaBr, and KBr

PbBr₂ is slightly soluble in ammonia, and it reacts with NaOH to produce Pb(OH)₂ and NaBr

Therefore, the best solution for dissolving PbBr₂(s) is NaBr
