Predicting nuclear stability is important when determining whether or not a nuclear reaction can take place spontaneously.Use th

e following set of guidelines to predict the nuclear stability of the elements listed below.
1. Stable nuclei have a high neutron-to-proton ratio, greater than 1.25 beyond atomic number 40 and continuing to rise at higher atomic numbers.
2. The majority of stable nuclei have even numbers of neutrons and protons. Odd-even and even-odd combinations can be stable but stability is less likely.
3. Nuclei that have the magic numbers of 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, or 82 protons or 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 or 126 neutrons are more stable than nuclei that do not contain these numbers.
4. Nuclei that have atomic numbers greater than 83 are unstable.Nuclei are considered stable if one or more criteria are met.

Answer:

a) unstable

b) unstable

c) unstable

d) Stable

Explanation:

a)

^{212}_{84}PO

The given isotope , atomic number is greater than 83.(84>83).

Therefore, it is unstable.

b)

^{30}_{15}P

The given isotope  has even number of protons(15) and neutrons(15).

Therefore, it is unstable.

c)

^{137}_{55}Cs

The given isotope  has even number of protons(15).

Therefore, it is unstable.

d)

^{118}_{50}Sn

The given isotope have even number of neutrons ( 68) an d the proton ratio is \frac{68}{50}= 1.36.It is more than 1.25.

Therefore, it is stable.

D is correct.  Atoms of the same element are the same

Explanation:

6. Which of the following statements is one of the postulates in Dalton's atomic theory?

A) All atoms are all the same.

B) Only some elements are composed of atoms.

C) Atoms of the same element are different.

D Atoms of the same element are identical.

D is correct.  Atoms of the same element are the same

Atoms of different elements are different

when different atoms combine, they do this in simple ratios and form molecues which are the building block of compounds

Dissolving a solute such as koh in a solvent such as water results in
andreev551 [17]
Answer;
A decrease in the vapor pressure of the liquid. 

Dissolving a solute such as potassium hydroxide in a solvent such as water results in a decrease in the vapor pressure of the liquid. 

Explanation; 
The vapor pressure of a liquid is the equilibrium of a vapor above its liquid.
In other words it is the pressure of the vapor resulting from the evaporation of a liquid above a given sample of the liquid in a closed container.
The vapor pressure of a liquid in a closed container depends on the temperature.

A 500.0-mL buffer solution is 0.100 M in HNO2 and 0.150 M in KNO2. Determine if each addition would exceed the capacity of the b
likoan [24]

Answer:

no one additions exceed the capacity of the buffer

Explanation:

given

Volume buffer = 500.0 mL = 0.5 L

mol HNO₂ = 0.5 L × 0.100 mol/L = 0.05 mol HNO₂

mol NO₂⁻ = 0.5 L × 0.150 mol/L = 0.075 mol NO₂⁻

solution

we know when any base more than 0.05 (HNO2) than exceed buffer capacity

and when any base more than 0.075 (KNO2) than exceed buffer capacity

when we add 250 mg NaOH (0.250 g)

than molar mass NaOH =40 g/mol

and mol NaOH = 0.250 g ÷ 40g/mol

mol NaOH  = 0.00625 mol

0.00625 mol NaOH will be neutralized by 0.00625 mol HNO₂

so it would not exceed the capacity of the buffer.

and

when we add 350 mg KOH (0.350 g)

than molar mass KOH =56.10 g

and mol KOH = 0.350 g ÷ 56.10 g/mol

mol KOH = 0.0062 mol

here also capacity of the buffer will not be exceeded

and

now we  add 1.25 g HBr

than molar mass HBr = 80.91 g/mol

and mol HBr = 1.25 g  ÷ 80.91 g/mol

mol HBr = 0.015 mol

0.015 mol Hbr will neutralize 0.015 mol NO₂⁻  

so the capacity will not be exceeded.

and

we add 1.35 g HI  

molar mass HI = 127.91 g/mol

so mol HI = 1.35 g ÷ 127.91 g/mol

mol HI = 0.011 mol

capacity of the buffer will not be exceed

Please Help I need an explanation on how to do this
nydimaria [60]

Balanced equation(That should be NaClO_3)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow Cl_2+2NaOH\longrightarrow NaCl+NaClO_3+H_2O

Remember that it's a ionic equation not general equation

So

We have to balance it accordingly
