Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶³Cu (isotopic mass = 62.9296 amu) and ⁶⁵Cu (isotopic mass = 64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu,

Abundance of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu ; 70% , 30.848%

<h3>Calculation : </h3>

Let the natural abundance of 63, Cu isotope be x%.

The natural abundance of

Cu isotope will be 100−x.

The average atomic weight is 63.546 g.

Hence, 100×63.546=63x+65(100−x)

6354.6=63x+6500−65x=6500−2x

2x=145.4

x=72.7≃70

Hence, the natural abundance of the 63Cu isotope must be approximately 70%.

For the ⁶⁵Cu calculation is same and the answer is 30.848%

<h3>What is isotope ?</h3>

Isotopes are members of a family of elements that all have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.

Example : Magnesium has three natural isotopes : ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg.

<h3>What is Atomic mass ?</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, while atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (synonymous with uniform atomic mass unit). 1 Da is defined as 1/12 the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in the ground state.

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by $X^{A}_{Z}$

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>

<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>

<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>

<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>

<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>

<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron. </em>

3.75 g of an unknown gas at 59 °C and 1.00 atm is stored in a 1.35-L flask. What is the molar mass of the gas?

MAXImum [283]

You need to find moles of the gas, so you would use the ideal gas law:
PV=nRT
Pressure
Volume
n=moles
R= gas constant
Tenperature in Kelvin
n= PV/RT
(1.00atm)(1.35L)/(.08206)(332K) = 0.050mol
Molar mass is grams per mole, so
(3.75g/.050mol) = 75g/mol

Why do crystals form during crystallisation

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Crystallization is a technique which chemists use to purify solid compounds. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. They do this in a uniform and repeating pattern that forms the crystal. The process is based on the principles of solubility: compounds (solutes) tend to be more soluble in hot liquids (solvents) than they are in cold liquids. If a saturated hot solution is allowed to <u>cool</u>, the solute is no longer soluble in the solvent and forms crystals of pure compound. Impurities are excluded from the growing crystals and the pure solid crystals can be separated from the dissolved impurities by filtration.
For an example the salt we get from seawater can have many impurities in it. Hence, the process of crystallization is in use to remove these impurities.
