What is the role of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

1 answer:

4 0

Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.

I hope this helps! :)

When 9.2 g of frozen N2O4 is added to a 0.50 L reaction vessel and the vessel is heated to 400 K and allowed to come to equilibr

Amanda [17]

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1.435

Explanation:

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

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Given mass of $N_2O_4$ = 9.2 g

Molar mass of $N_2O_4$ = 92 g/mol

Volume of solution = 0.50 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{9.2g}{92g/mol\times 0.50L}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.20M$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$

Initial: 0.20

At eqllm: 0.20-x 2x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of $N_2O_4$ = 0.057

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (0.20-x)=0.057\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.143$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$

$[NO_2]_{eq}=2x=(2\times 0.143)=0.286M$

$[N_2O_4]_{eq}=0.057M$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(0.286)^2}{0.143}\\\\K_c=1.435$

Hence, the value of $K_c$ for the given reaction is 1.435

Which process is expected to have an increase in entropy?

olganol [36]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Degree of randomness of the molecules of a substance is known as entropy. More is the kinetic energy between the molecules of a substance more will be the degree of randomness.

Therefore, when a substance is present in a gaseous state then it has the maximum entropy. In liquid state, molecules are closer to each other so, there is less randomness between them.

On the other hand, in solid state molecules are much more closer to each other as they arr held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, they have very less entropy.

When liquid water is formed from gaseous hydrogen and oxygen molecules then gas is changing into liquid. So, there is decrease in entropy.

When $N_{2}O_{4}$ decomposes then the reaction will be as follows.

$N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}$

Since, 1 mole is producing 2 moles. This means that degree of randomness is increasing as both the molecules are present in gaseous form.

In formation of a precipitate, aqueous solution is changing into solid state. Hence, degree of randomness is decreasing.

Rusting of iron also leads to the formation of solid as it forms $Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that decomposition of $N_{2}O_{4}$ gas to $NO_{2}$ gas is the process that is expected to have an increase in entropy.
