What is an isotope? How does one isotope differ from another isotope

Chemistry

Isotopes are different versions of a specific element.

Every atom/element is defined by its protons. So if it has 1 proton it's hydrogen no matter what, if it has 2 protons it's helium no matter what and so on. If you know the number of protons, you know the element.

You can change the number of neutrons in the nucleus and you'll get isotopes. Atoms that have different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of each other. It's important to understand that the element is the same but one is going to be a little bit heavier or lighter than another.

An isotope is an atom with a unique number of neutrons. Isotopes can differ from each other because of their number of neutrons.

2. HOW MUCH HEAT IS REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED WHEN
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: -112200J

Explanation:

The amount of heat (Q) released from an heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = ?

Mass of water vapour = 30.0g

C = 187 J/ G°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 100°C - 120°C = -20°C

Then apply the formula, Q = MCΦ

Q = 30.0g x 187 J/ G°C x -20°C

Q = -112200J (The negative sign does indicates that heat was released to the surroundings)

Thus, -112200 joules of heat is released when cooling the superheated vapour.

What relationship exists between an enzyme and a catalyst?
shepuryov [24]

A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
