Reactivity is a chemical
property of a substance. According to EPA regulations, it is normally unstable
and readily
undergoes violent change without
detonating. it can explode or violently react when exposed to water, when
heated, or under STP.
Answer:
[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.
Explanation:
Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.
Analysis:
H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷
C(i) 0.115M 0 0
ΔC -x +x +x
C(eq) 0.115M - x x x
≅ 0.115M
Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M
= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷ => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.
In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from
[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.
________________________________________________________
NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.
The answer would be B.
U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.
It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.
C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.
The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24
