also known as heavy hydrogen) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen (the other being protium, or hydrogen-1). The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common protium has no neutron in the nucleus.

Answer:

A. a nucleus of one proton and one neutron, which is orbited by one electron.

Explanation:

Isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass number. The atomic number is the numbers of protons in the nucleus and defines each element while the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

An hydrogen atom with a mass number of two means that its nucleus has one proton and one neutron because the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, otherwise it wouldn’t be hydrogen, so it has 1 proton and to complete the mass number of two it must have 1 neutron.

On the other hand, the atomic model says that the nucleus is orbited by electrons. The number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is given by the atomic number. Then an atomic number of 1 means that 1 electron orbits the nucleus with one proton.

vichka [17]

Answer:

3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is convenient to write the chemical reaction as:

CaSO_4+AlCl_3\rightarrow CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

Which balanced turns out:

3CaSO_4+2AlCl_3\rightarrow 3CaCl_2+Al_2(SO_4)_3

Thus the number that should be in front of the calcium sulfate is 3 in order to balance the reaction.

Best regards.

why is the concentration of helium increased in some gas mixtures that divers breath in order to reduce the partial pressure of
sdas [7]

Answer:

Because of oxygen toxicity.

Explanation:

Oxygen toxicity.

Oxygen has been known to cause central nervous system (CNS) toxicity when the pressure gets higher. This toxicity can cause convulsions, and this can cause the diver to drown.

The current standard maximum safe oxygen working pressure is 1.4 atm ppO2. This is equal to 56.5m/185′ when breathing air (21% O2 / 79% N). Below that depth the fraction of oxygen in a breathing gas must be reduced, and in order to maintain this maximum pressure of 1.4 ppO2, Helium must be added.

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in temperature caused by a reaction, combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system, makes it possible to determine the heat of reaction.

Heat energy can be measured by observing how the temperature of a known mass of water (or other substance) changes when heat is added or removed. This is basically how most heats of reaction are determined. The reaction is carried out in some insulated container, where the heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction causes the temperature of the contents to change. This temperature change is measured and the amount of heat that caused the change is calculated by multiplying the temperature change by the heat capacity of the system.

The apparatus used to measure the temperature change for a reacting system is called a calorimeter (that is, a calorie meter). The science of using such a device and the data obtained with it is called calorimetry. The design of a calorimeter is not standard and different calorimeters are used for the amount of precision required. One very simple design used in many general chemistry labs is the styrofoam "coffee cup" calorimeter, which usually consists of two nested styrofoam cups.

When a reaction occurs at constant pressure inside a Styrofoam coffee-cup calorimeter, the enthalpy change involves heat, and little heat is lost to the lab (or gained from it). If the reaction evolves heat, for example, very nearly all of it stays inside the calorimeter, the amount of heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction is calculated.
