living thing need water to survive

and food to get energy and perform life processes.

and living organism need space to gets the energy and materials it needs

In order to survive, all living things need air, water, and food. Animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, which provides them with the energy they need to move and grow. An animal's home (habitat) must provide these basic needs (air, water and food) along with shelter from bad weather and predators.!!!!!!!

Determine the nuclear composition (number of protons and neutrons) of the following isotopes. (a) chromium-52 protons neutrons (

madreJ [45]

Answer: a) chromium-52 : protons = 24, neutrons = 28

selenium - 80 : protons = 34, neutrons = 46

molybdenum-98: protons = 42, neutrons = 56

xenon-132: protons = 54, neutrons = 78

ytterbium-174 : protons = 70, neutrons = 104

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

a) chromium-52 :

Atomic number of Chromium is 24 hence number of protons = 24

52= 24+ Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 28

b) selenium - 80 :

Atomic number of selenium is 34 hence number of protons = 34

80 = 34 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 46

c) molybdenum - 98 :

Atomic number of molybdenum is 42 is hence number of protons = 42

98 = 42 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

d) xenon-132:

Atomic number of xenon is 54 hence number of protons = 54

132 = 54 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 78

e) ytterbium-174:

Atomic number of ytterbium is 70 and hence number of protons = 70

174 = 70 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 104

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?

velikii [3]

Answer:

The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

Phosphorous acid, h3po3(aq), is a diprotic oxyacid that is an important compound in industry and agriculture. calculate the ph f

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Before the addition of KOH :-

Given pKa1 of H3PO3 = 1.30

we know , pKa1 = - log10Ka1

Ka1 = 10-pKa1

Ka1 = 10-1.30

Ka1 = 0.0501

similarly pKa2 = 6.70 ,therefore Ka2 = 1.99 x 10-7

because Ka1 >> Ka2 , therefore pH of diprotic acid i.e H3PO3 can be calculated from first dissociation only .

ICE table is :-

H3PO3 (aq) <-------------> H+ (aq) + H2PO3-(aq)

I 2.4 M 0 M 0 M

C - x + x + x

E (2.4 - x )M x M x M

x = degree of dissociation

Now expression of Ka1 is :

Ka1 = [ H+ ] [ H2PO3-] / [ H3PO3]

0.0501 = x2 / 2.4 - x

on solving for x by using quadratic formula , we have

x = 0.32

Now [ H+ ] = [ H2PO3-] = 0.32 M

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log 0.32

pH = - ( - 0.495)

pH = 0.495

Hence pH before the addition of KOH = 0.495

(b)

After the addition of 25.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.025 L = 0.06 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Now 0.06 moles of KOH is equal to the half of the moles required for the first equivalent point . therefore pH at this point is equal to pKa1 .

Hence pH = 1.30 M

(c)

After the addition of 50.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

because Number of moles of H3PO4 = Number of moles of KOH

therefore , this point is the first equivalence point

and pH = pKa1 + pKa2 / 2

pH = 1.30 + 6.70 / 2

pH = 4.00

Hence pH = 4.00

(d)

After the addition of 75.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.075 L = 0.18 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

This is the half way of the second equivalence point , therefore pH is equal to pKa2 .

Hence pH = 6.70
