Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.

A sample of liquid heptane (C7H16) weighing 11.5 g is reacted with 1.3 mol of oxygen gas. The heptane is burned completely (hept
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) 0.525 mol

b) 0.525 mol

c) 0.236 mol

Explanation:

The combustion reactions (partial and total) will be:

C₇H₁₆ + (15/2)O₂ → 7CO + 8H₂O

C₇H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

---------------------------------------------------

2C₇H₁₆ + (37/2)O₂ → 7CO + 7CO₂ + 16H₂O

It means that the reaction will form 50% of each gas.

a) 0.525 mol of CO

b) 0.525 mol of CO₂

c) The molar mass of heptane is: 7*12 g/mol of C + 16*1 g/mol of H = 100 g/mol

So, the number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n = 11.5/100 = 0.115 mol

For the stoichiometry:

2 mol of C₇H₁₆ -------------- (37/2) mol of O₂

0.115 mol of C₇H₁₆ --------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = 2.1275

x = 1.064 mol of O₂

Which is the moles of oxygen that reacts, so are leftover:

1.3 - 1.064 = 0.236 mol of O₂

Where does most of our heat come from?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

the cells in your body

Explanation:

Most people that i have asked this similar question to, have said the sun. It's not the sun because the sun disappears at night. Your body produces heat because your cells are burning up energy.

If 0.680 kg of copper(I) sulfide reacts with excess oxygen, what mass of copper metal may be produced ? A) 0.680 kg B) 0.136 kg
Katen [24]

Answer:

D. 0.543kg of copper metal is produced from 0.680kg of copper 1 sulphide.

Explanation:

First write the equation for the reaction:

Cu2S + O2 ------> 2Cu + SO2

Determine the mole ratio of the two substances:

I mole of Cu2O forms 2 moles of Copper metal

The number of moles of copper 1 sulphide used is;

n = mass of Cu2S / molar mass of Cu2S

Mass = 0.680kg = 680g

Molar mass = 159.16g/mol

n = 680g / 159.16g/mol

n = 4.272moles

Determine the number of mole of copper:

Number of moles of copper metal produced from 4.272moles of copper 1 sulphide is therefore:

n of copper = 2 * 4.272 Moles

n = 8.544moles.

Determine the mass copper:

The mass of copper metal produced is therefore = number of moles of copper * molar mass of copper

mass = 8.544 moles * 63.55g/mol

mass = 542.97grams

Mass = 0.543kg

A 1.00 * 10^-6 -g sample of nobelium, 254/102 No, has a half-life of 55 seconds after it is formed. What is the percentage of 25
bija089 [108]

Answer:

2.2 % and 0 %

Explanation:

The equation we will be using to solve this question is:

N/N₀  = e⁻λ t

where  N₀ : Number of paricles at t= 0

            N=  Number of particles after time t

             λ= Radioactive decay constant

             e= Euler´s constant

We are not given λ , but it can be determined from the half life with the equation:

λ = 0.693 / t 1/2 where t 1/2 is the half-life

Substituting our values:

λ = 0.693 / 55 s = 0.0126/s

a) For t = 5 min = 300 s

N / N₀ = e^-(0.0126/s x 300 s) = e^-3.8 = 0.022 = 2.2 %

b) For t = 1 hr = 3600 s

N / N₀ =  e^-(0.0126/s x 3600 s) = 2.9 x 10 ⁻²⁰ = 0 % (For all practical purposes)
