Answer: The net change in the atoms is the conversion of a neutron to a proton, turning Carbon (6 protons) into Nitrogen (7 protons).
Explanation:
Carbon-14, generated from the atmosphere, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. That's where the 14 comes from, called the mass number, is the sum of protons and neutrons (6+8=14).
Carbon-14 is radioactive and decays by beta decay. That means one of its neutrons spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, according to:
After that, the atom has 7 protons and 7 neutrons, maintaining its mass number but changing its atomic number from 6 to 7, turning into Nitrogen.
Answer:
10.6 g CO₂
Explanation:
You have not been given a limiting reagent. Therefore, to find the maximum amount of CO₂, you need to convert the masses of both reactants to CO₂. The smaller amount of CO₂ produced will be the accurate amount. This is because that amount is all the corresponding reactant can produce before it runs out.
To find the mass of CO₂, you need to (1) convert grams C₂H₂/O₂ to moles (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles C₂H₂/O₂ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams (via molar mass). *I had to guess the chemical reaction because the reaction coefficients are necessary in calculating the mass of CO₂.*
C₂H₂ + O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + H₂
9.31 g C₂H₂ 1 mole 2 moles CO₂ 44.0095 g
------------------ x ------------------- x ---------------------- x ------------------- =
26.0373 g 1 mole C₂H₂ 1 mole
= 31.5 g CO₂
3.8 g O₂ 1 mole 2 moles CO₂ 44.0095 g
------------- x -------------------- x ---------------------- x -------------------- =
31.9988 g 1 mole O₂ 1 mole
= 10.6 g CO₂
10.6 g CO₂ is the maximum amount of CO₂ that can be produced. In other words, the entire 3.8 g O₂ will be used up in the reaction before all of the 9.31 g C₂H₂ will be used.
<u><em>Answer: Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products.</em></u>
Explanation:
Answer:
The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.
