Tollens’ test, also known as silver-mirror test, is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a

ketone. It exploits the fact that aldehydes are readily oxidized (see oxidation),
whereas ketones are not.
Tollens’ test uses a reagent known as Tollens’ reagent,
which is a colorless,
basic,
aqueous solution containing silver ions coordinated to ammonia [Ag(NH3)2+].
It is prepared using a two-step procedure.

Explanation:

Tollens' reagent is prepared by using two-step process : -

Step 1:

Silver oxide is formed by mixing aqueous silver nitrate with base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below as:

AgNO_3 + NaOH &\rightarrow AgOH + NHO_3 \nonumber \\ 2AgOH &\rightarrow Ag_2O + H_2O

Step 2

Ammonia solution is drop-wise added until all the silver oxide dissolves to form the reagent. The reaction is shown below as:

Ag_2O + 4NH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow 2Ag(NH_3)_2^+ + 2OH^-

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th
Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.

What is nuclear fusion what role does it play in the sun
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is when two atomic nuclei combine and form one nucleus. Nuclear fusion generates all of the Sun's energy. Inward pulling by the Sun's gravity is counteracted by outward pushing by the Sun's nuclear fusion; this balance keeps the sun from collapsing or exploding.
