What do you think would happen if you had a very small amount of water in a glass and you

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Equilibrium shifts to the right

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which temperature is released to the environment. Hence, if the reaction vessel housing an exothermic reaction is touched after reaction completion, we will notice that the reaction vessel e.g beaker is hot.

To consider the equilibrium response to temperature changes, we need to consider if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. In the case of this particular question, it has been established that the reaction is exothermic.

Heat is released to the surroundings as the reactants are at a higher energy level compared to the products. Hence, increasing the temperature will favor the formation of more reactants and as such, the equilibrium position will shift to the left to pave way for the formation of more reactants. Thus , more acetylene and hydrogen would be yielded

A scientist observed a 5-mL sample of an unknown substance. It is a blue liquid with a density of 1.2 g/cm. the substance reacts

LenaWriter [7]

Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Color: blue                                 non-characteristic

State: liquid                                characteristic
