One radioactive isotope of calcium has an atomic mass of 47,how many neutrons are in the calcium -47 nucleus

Chemistry
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 27 neutrons

Explanation:

Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.

Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons

Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons

47 = 20 + neutrons

Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27

Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.

In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→H2
allsm [11]

Answer:

The final balanced equation is :

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)

Explanation:

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+Sn^{4+}(aq)

Balancing in acidic medium:

First we will determine the oxidation and reduction reaction from the givne reaction :

Oxidation:

Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)

Balance the charge by adding 2 electrons on product side:

Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)+2e^-....[1]

Reduction :

SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)

Balance O by adding water on required side:

SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)

Now, balance H by adding H^+ on the required side:

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)

At last balance the charge by adding electrons on the side where positive charge is more:

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)..[2]

Adding [1] and [2]:

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)

The final balanced equation is :

SO_4^{2-}(aq)+4H^+(aq)+Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow H_2SO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)+Sn^{4+}(aq)

lara31 [8.8K]
Its a base

as Na+ dissociates in the water and it has no basic nor acidic properties its neutral]

but the F- that also dissociates has certain basic properties
