Answer: a) chromium-52 :  protons = 24, neutrons = 28

selenium - 80 :  protons = 34, neutrons = 46

molybdenum-98:  protons = 42, neutrons = 56

xenon-132:  protons = 54, neutrons = 78

ytterbium-174 :  protons = 70, neutrons = 104

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

a) chromium-52 :

Atomic number of Chromium is 24 hence number of protons  = 24

52= 24+ Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 28

b) selenium - 80 :

Atomic number of selenium is 34 hence number of protons  = 34

80 =  34 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 46

c) molybdenum - 98 :

Atomic number of molybdenum is 42 is  hence number of protons  = 42

98 =  42 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

d) xenon-132:

Atomic number of xenon is 54 hence number of protons  = 54

132 =  54 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 78

e) ytterbium-174:

Atomic number of ytterbium is 70 and  hence number of protons  = 70

174 = 70 +  Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 104

Answer : The volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2

First we have to calculate the  mass of HCO_3^- in tablet.

\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g

Now we have to calculate the moles of HCO_3^-.

Molar mass of HCO_3^- = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO_2.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 1 mole of CO_2

So, 0.0202 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 0.0202 mole of CO_2

The moles of CO_2 = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of CO_2 by using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = 37^oC=273+37=310K

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)

V=0.51411L=514.11ml

Therefore, the volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acetate plus acetate concentration
vovangra [49]

<u>Ans: Acetic acid = 90.3 mM and Sodium acetate = 160 mM</u>

Given:

Acetic Acid/Sodium Acetate buffer of pH = 5.0

Let HA = acetic acid

A- = sodium acetate

Total concentration [HA] + [A-] = 250 mM ------(1)

pKa(acetic acid) = 4.75

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[A-]/[HA]

[A-]/[HA] = 10^(pH-pKa) = 10^(5-4.75) = 10^0.25 = 1.77

[A-] = 1.77[HA] -----(2)

From (1) and (2)

[HA] + 1.77[HA] = 250 mM

[HA] = 250/2.77 = 90.25 mM

[A-] = 1.77(90.25) = 159.74 mM

Alisiya [41]

Answer:Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

Explanation:

Bond length : It is an average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Also given that bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter-nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Beyond this if atoms come closer to each other then their will be repulsion between them.

So, the bond length between the Hydrogen and Chlorine atom in HCl molecule is :

Bond length=radius _{hydrogen}+radius_{chlorine}=25pm+100pm=125pm

Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.
