I think the more prevalent in the food we eat is Carbon-12 which is present in Most of the food we ingest. Both carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, they differ in the number of neutrons in each atom. Because of the different number of neutrons, carbon-12 and carbon-14 differ with respect to radioactivity. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope but carbon-14 undergoes radioactive decay.

Calculate ΔH o rxn for the following: CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) + HCl(g)[unbalanced] ΔH o f [CH4(g)] = −74.87 kJ/mol ΔH o f [CCl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:  ΔH for the reaction is -277.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CCl_4(l)+HCl(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H(products)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CCl_4}\times \Delta H_{CCl_4})+(n_{HCl}\times B.E_{HCl}) ]-[(n_{CH_4}\times \Delta H_{CH_4})+n_{Cl_2}\times \Delta H_{Cl_2}]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[(1\times -139)+(1\times -92.31) ]-[(1\times -74.87)+(1\times 121.0]

\Delta H=-277.4kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -277.4 kJ

Suppose you are working in a chemistry lab and trying to make a solution of a substance called Sodium Chloride (which is a solid
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer

Explanation:

The lab apparatus that would be needed to prepare a solution of sodium chloride would be <em>a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer.</em>

The weighing balance would be used to weigh out the required amount of sodium chloride. The beaker or flask would be placed on the weighing balance and its weight zeroed. The spatula would then be sued to take out the sodium chloride from its container into the beaker till the required amount is reached. The measuring cylinder would then be used to measure out the required volume of water which would be added to the salt in the beaker. The stirrer would then be used to stir the mixture in order for the salt to dissolve.

Solution A is 0.44 M and reacts with 0.11 M of solution B. Assume that the value of x is 0, the value of y is 1, and r is 1.07 ×
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

K, the rate constant = 9.73 × 10^(-1)/s

Explanation:

r = K × [A]^x × [B]^y

r = Rate = 1.07 × 10^(-1)/s

K = Rate constant

A and B = Concentration in mol/dm^-3

A = 0.44M

B = 0.11M

x = Order of reaction with respect to A = 0

y = Order of reaction with respect to B = 1

Solving, we get

r/([A]^x × [B]^y) = K

K = 1.07 × 10^(-1)/s/(0.44^0 × 0.11^1)= 0.9727

K = 0.9727

The people of Finland, who are secluded to some degree from the rest of the world by water, develop certain diseases due to the lack of genetic material from other ethnicities and races.

Physical barriers prevent fish from one stream from mating with fish from another stream, leading to a less varied gene pool among those fish. As time passes, the fish become unable to successfully mate with other groups.

A mountain range prevents two types of goat from mating, causing the gene pool to become less varied.<span>
