The isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions because the nuclear reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom and isotopes differ in neutrons and so they react differently to nuclear changes. While for chemical reactions, the electrons in an atom are involved but the isotopes do not differ in electrons and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

Answer: Option A & C

Explanation:

The reactants of chemical and nuclear reactions are different. The reactants of chemical reactions are the electrons present in the outermost shell of the reactants, while the reactants of nuclear reactions are either the nuclei of reactants or a nuclei and any subatomic particles of other reactants.

Thus it can be understood that chemical reactions consider the electrons while nuclear reactions consider the nuclei or the number of protons and neutrons of the reactants.

The isotopes of elements contain different mass number or we can say different number of neutrons but the number of electrons are same, so they behave differently in nuclear reactions and similar in chemical reactions.

An isotope of iron has 28 neutrons. If the atomic mass of the isotope is 54, how many protons does it have?

Crazy boy [7]

26 because you need to do 54-28=26
The atomic mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons together.

12.A piece of magnesium is in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 5.62 cm

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Density, d = 1.779 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a material is given by its mass per unit volume.

Here, height of a piece of magnesium cylinder, h = 5.62 cm

Its diameter, d = 1.34 cm

Radius = 0.67 cm

Volume of he cylinder,

$V=\pi r^2 h\\\\\text{Putting the value of r and h, we get :}\\\\V=(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3$

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{14.1\ g}{(\pi \times (0.67)^2\times 5.62)\ cm^3}\\\\d=1.779\ g/cm^3$

So, the density of the sample is 1.779 g/cm³.

What is the concentration of OH − and pOH in a 0.00066 M solution of Ba ( OH ) 2 at 25 ∘ C? Assume complete dissociation.

Allushta [10]

Answer: The hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of barium hydroxide = 0.00066 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of barium hydroxide follows:

$Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^-$

1 mole of barium hydroxide produces 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions

pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration present in the solution

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=(2\times 0.00066)=1.32\times 10^{-3}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(1.32\times 10^{-3})\\\\pOH=2.88$

Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

Friction actually generated friction because you create charges that are dealing with electricity. When you rub some against each other , you can create a little spark which is electricity . Friction can produce static or something because it can be transferred by two or more items .
