Choose the isotope that would be most stable. carbon-14 barium-56 lead-82 radon-85

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

A solution of H 2 SO 4 ( aq ) H2SO4(aq) with a molal concentration of 8.01 m 8.01 m has a density of 1.354 g / mL . 1.354 g/mL.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

[H₂SO₄] = 6.07 M

Explanation:

Analyse the data given

8.01 m → 8.01 moles of solute in 1kg of solvent.

1.354 g/mL → Solution density

We convert the moles of solute to mass → 8.01 mol . 98g /1mol = 785.4 g

Mass of solvent = 1kg = 1000 g

Mass of solution = 1000g + 785.4 g = 1785.4 g

We apply density to determine the volume of solution

Density = Mass / volume → Volume = mass / density

1785.4 g / 1.354 g/mL = 1318.6 mL

We need this volume in L, in order to reach molarity:

1318.6 mL . 1L / 1000mL = 1.3186 L ≅ 1.32L

Molarity (mol/L) → 8.01 mol / 1.32L = 6.07M

Which type of compounds are likely to be nonconductors in their solid forms but conductors when they are mixed with water

Blizzard [7]

Ionic compounds. because when in solid form they are held firmly in place therefore they cannot move to conduct electric current.

Changes to the global climate could include _______.

frosja888 [35]

1. Answer is d. all of the above.

Climate can be defined as the data collection of weather conditions of a long period of time in a certain area. The weather conditions that affect to the climate are temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, wind and so on. Any changes in weather can change the global climate.

2. Answer is c. ozone.

Trees release oxygen and water vapor into the atmosphere but not ozone. The oxygen gas is released by trees as the by-product of photosynthesis. This is the natural way of production of oxygen gas. Water vapor can be released due to the transpiration of trees.
