Which of the following isotopes would most likely be unstable and therefore radioactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Mercury-194 is an unstable isotope and hence is radioactive.

Explanation: Mercury-194 is an isotope of mercury, having formula _{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}

Number of protons in this isotope = 80

Number of neutrons in this isotope = 114

This isotope is radioactive in nature and under decay process by Electron Capture.

Electron capture reactions are the reactions in which a proton in a nucleus absorbs an electron and convert it into neutron. The resulting nucleus will have a decreased atomic number and same atomic mass.

Reaction for electron capture of mercury-194 follows:

_{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{79}^{194}\textrm{Au}

This is a mixture that has the same composition throughout.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: Homogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixtures are those mixtures in which the dispersed phase is uniformly distributed throughout the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase has uniform composition throughout the dispersion medium and thus there is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. Example: salt in water

Heterogeneous mixtures are those mixtures in which the dispersed phase is not uniformly distributed throughout the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase does not has uniform composition throughout the dispersion medium and thus there is a distinct physical boundary between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. Example: Sand in water

Which of the following is an example of electrical energy being converted to chemical energy?
marishachu [46]

The correct answer is option D, that is, a storage battery is charged using an electric current.  

The transformation of one form of energy into another, generally to transform the energy into more useful kind is known as energy conversion. The energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transformed. The different forms of energy comprise light, heat, mechanical, electrical, sound, nuclear, and sound.  

In the given question, the charging of a storage battery using electric current is an example of electrical energy being converted into chemical energy.

Answer: I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

Explanation:

An Oxidant is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from, another; in so doing, it becomes reduced in oxidation number.

A Reductant thus exactly the opposite.

Note that the equation provided shows that Iodine (I2) received an electron to become NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

I2 --> 2I-.

The oxidation number reduced from 0 to -1.

In contrast, the oxidation number of 2S2O3(-2) increases from -4 to -2.

Thus, I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a: chemical change because the change cannot be reversed.

b: physical change because the action can be reversed.

c: chemical change.

d:chemical change.

any change that cannot be reversed is a chemical change and any change that can be reversed is a physical change.
