Answer : The representation of thorium isotope is $^{227}_{90}Th$

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Isotope notation : It is also called as nuclear notation. In isotopic notation we can easily determine an isotope's mass number, atomic number, the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus.

The general isotopic representation of an atom is:

$_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

As we given:

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = 137

Atomic number = number of protons = 90

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Mass number = 137 + 90

Mass number = 227

The symbol of thorium = Th

Thus, the representation of thorium isotope is $^{227}_{90}Th$

How many moles of C5H120 would it take to generate 4.2 moles of CO2 from combustion?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

0.84 moles

Explanation:

from the equation 2 moles of pentanol generated 10 moles of CO2 therefore, x mol of pentanol will generate 4.2mol of CO2.

making x the subject of formula=4.2*2/10

=0.84 moles of

Determine the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STp?

Arlecino [84]

5.58 X $10^{-25}$ Litres is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

molecules of oxygen = 0.015

number of moles of oxygen =?

temperature at STP = 273 K

Pressure at STP = 1 atm

volume = ?

R (gas constant) = 0.08201 L atm/mole K

to convert molecules to moles,

number of moles = $\frac{molecules}{Avagadro's number}$

number of moles = 2.49 x $10^{-26}$

Applying the ideal gas law since the oxygen is at STP,

PV = nRT

rearranging the equation:

V = $\frac{nRT}{P}$

putting the values in the rearranged equation:

V = $\frac{2.49 X10^{-26} X 0.08201 X 273}{1}$

V = 5.58 X $10^{-25}$ Litres.

do you think a decomposer and detritivore would compete with each other? justify your answer (pls just type the answer) :)

Natalija [7]

Explanation:

I don't think a decomposer and detritvore would compete with each other because decomposers job is to break down dead, organic materials and detritvores feed on dead organisms

The reaction 2NO2(g)+F2(g)-->2NO2F(g) has an overall second order rate law, rate=k[NO2][F2]. Suggest a mechanism consistent w

borishaifa [10]

The reason why it is easiest to assume the first step is slow is because that would be your rate determining step and would give you the rate law given in the problem. So you take the two compounds from the rate law given and put them as your two reactants in your first step: NO2 + F2 ---> NO2F + F (all gases) Your next step needs to make sense for your overall reaction. And you also need to have an intermediate which in this case will be F: F + NO2 ---> NO2F (again all gases) This is the fast step. Your intermediate cancels out to give you your overall equation: 2NO2 + F2 ---> 2NO2F (all gases)
