Which is more prevalent in the food we eat: carbon-12 or carbon-14?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

How do i calculate the mass of CO2 emitted per Kj of heat produced in a combustion reaction?

Alexxandr [17]

methanol:

1 mole CH3 OH --> produces --> 1 mole CO2

1 mole CO2 has a molar mass of 44.01 gh/mole

your set up is:
(44.01 g CO2) / -726.5kJ = 0.06058g

your answer 0.06058 grams of CO2 produced per kJ released.

What istope of an atom if it has 29 protons and 36 neutrons?<br>

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Copper Atoms

Explanation:

All copper atoms have atomic number 29: all their nuclei contain 29 protons. But they also contain uncharged particles called neutrons. In natural copper, the atoms are of two kinds. One has 29 protons and 34 neutrons in the nucleus; the other has 29 protons and 36 neutrons
