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.

The molar enthalpy of vaporization of boron tribromide is 30.5 kj/mol, and its normal boiling point is 91°c. what is the vapor p
adell [148]
To answer this question, we will use the following equation:
<span>ln(P2/P1) = (∆Hvap/R)*((1/T1) - (1/T2)) 
</span>
Now we examine the givens of the problem and transform to standard units if required:
<span>∆Hvap = 30.5 kJ/mol 
</span>R is a constant = <span>8.314 x 10^-3 kJ K^-1 mol^-1 
T1 </span><span>= 91 celcius = 91 + 273= 364 Kelvin
</span>T2 = 20 celcius = 20 + 273 = 293 k3lvin
P1 is the standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg
P2 is the value to be calculated

Substitute with these values in the equation:
ln(P2/760) = (30.5 / 8.314 x 10^-3) x ((1 / 364) - (1 / 293)) 
ln(P2/760) = - 2.4662 (Take the exponential both sides to eliminate the ln)
P2 / 760 = e^(-2.4462) = 0.0866
P2 = 0.0866 x 760 = 65.816 mmHg

A gas has a volume of 45.0 mL and a pressure of .98 atm. If the pressure increased to 2.1 atm and the temperature remained the s
goblinko [34]

Answer: The new volume is 95.45 mL.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 45.0 mL,         P_{1} = 0.98 atm

P_{2} = 2.1 atm,               V_{2} = ?

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Therefore, formula used to calculate the new volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}}{V_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{V_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}}{V_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{V_{2}}\\\frac{0.98 atm}{45.0 mL} = \frac{2.1 atm}{V_{2}}\\V_{2} = 95.45 mL

Thus, we can conclude that the new volume is 95.45 mL.

(a) a 0.2 m potassium hydroxide solution is titrated with a 0.1 m nitric acid solution. (i) balanced equation: (ii)what would be
Stells [14]

\text{KOH} (aq) + \text{HNO}_3 (aq) \to \text{KNO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)

The solution shall contain only \text{KNO}_3 (aq) (and water) at the equivalence point. Both potassium hydroxide and nitric acid exist as strong electrolytes. As a result,  \text{KNO}_3 (aq), the salt derived from a reaction between the two species would undergo hydrolysis of a negligible extent. This neutralization reaction therefore be neutral at the equilibrium point.

The question states that the solution is "titrated with a ... nitric acid solution" indicating that \text{HNO}_3 is added to the initially-basic solution. PH value of the solution would keep decreasing as the volume of the acid added increases. The final solution would be acidic as it contains not only water and \text{KNO}_3 (aq), but some \text{HNO}_3 as well. Bromothymol blue would therefore demonstrates a yellow color, the color it present in an acidic solution, at the end of the titration.
