An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?

2 answers:

8 0

A) Z + 4

In the actual atom, half of the nucleus would be protons and the other half neutrons, hence the 2z. The additional four in the expression must be neutrons because adding protons would change the element all together.

Answer:

A) Z+4

Explanation:

Atomic number of the isotope = Z

Mass number of the isotope = 2Z+4.

Atomic number = Number of protons in the atom = Number of electrons in the atom

Mass number = Number of protons in the atom + Number of neutrons in the atom

Hence number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

= 2Z + 4 - Z = Z + 4

Hence the required answer to the question is represented by option A which is Z + 4.

The flask contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains 0.160 M NaOH. It requires 18.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Approximately $0.291\; \rm M$ (rounded to two significant figures.)

Explanation:

The unit of concentration $\rm M$ is the same as $\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ (moles per liter.) On the other hand, the volume of both the $\rm NaOH$ solution and the original $\rm HCl$ solution here are in milliliters. Convert these two volumes to liters:

$V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 18.2\; \rm mL = 18.2 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0182\; \rm L$ .
$V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = 10.0\; \rm mL = 10.0\times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0100\; \rm L$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm NaOH$ in that $0.0182\; \rm L$ of $0.160\; \rm M$ solution:

$\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= c(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot V(\mathrm{NaOH})\\ &= 0.160\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.0182\; \rm L \approx 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\rm HCl$ reacts with $\rm NaOH$ at a one-to-one ratio:

$\rm HCl\; (aq) + NaOH\; (aq) \to NaCl\; (aq) + H_2O\; (l)$ .

Coefficient ratio:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} = 1$ .

In other words, one mole of $\rm NaOH$ would neutralize exactly one mole of $\rm HCl$ . In this titration, $0.291\; \rm mol$ of $\rm NaOH\!$ was required. Therefore, the same amount of $\rm HC$ should be present in the original solution:

$\begin{aligned}&n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})\\ &= n(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} \\ &\approx 0.00291\; \rm mol \times 1 = 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the concentration of the original $\rm HCl$ solution:

$\displaystyle c(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = \frac{n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})}{V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})} \approx \frac{0.00291\; \rm mol}{0.0100\; \rm L} \approx 0.291\; \rm M$ .
