The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.
Answer:
The required volume is 1.6 x 10³mL.
Explanation:
When we want to prepare a dilute solution from a concentrated one, we can use the dilution rule to find out the required volume to dilute. This rule states:
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
where,
C₁ and V₁ are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution
C₂ and V₂ are the concentration and volume of the dilute solution
In this case, we want to find out V₁:
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
Explanation:
Yes, a chemical reaction can happen with only one substance.
A typical example of such reaction is the radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. .
When radioactive elements are let alone, they decompose to form stable harmless elements.
An example of radioactive decay is attached in the image below;
Between phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine and argon, argon is the element that's the least likely to form an ionic bond with sodium.
Answer:
265.2amu
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Atomic mass = 254.9amu
Abundance of isotope 1 = 72%
Atomic mass of isotope 1 = 250.9amu
Abundance of isotope 2 = 100 - 72 = 28%
Unknown:
Atomic mass of isotope 2 = ?
Solution:
To find the atomic mass of isotope 2, use the expression below:
Atomic mass = (abundance of isotope 1 x atomic mass of isotope 1) + (abundance of isotope 2 x atomic mass of isotope 2)
Now insert the parameters and find the unknown;
254.9 = (0.72 x 250.9) + (0.28 x Atomic mass of isotope 2)
254.9 = 180.648 + 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2
254.9 - 180.648 = 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2
74.25 = 0.28 x atomic mass of isotope 2
Atomic mass of isotope 2 = 265.2amu
