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

Chemistry

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}

Suppose you need to prepare 136.9 mL of a 0.315 M aqueous solution of NaCl.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

2.52 g NaCl

Explanation:

(Step 1)

To find the mass, you first need to find the moles NaCl. This value can be found using the molarity ratio:

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

After you convert mL to L, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find moles.

136.9 mL / 1,000 = 0.1369 L

Molarity = moles / volume

0.315 M = moles / 0.1369 L

0.0431 = moles

(Step 2)

Now, you can use the molar mass to convert moles to grams.

Molar Mass (NaCl): 22.990 g/mol + 35.453 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaCl): 58.443 g/mol

0.0431 moles NaCl           58.443 g
------------------------------  x  -------------------  =  2.52 g NaCl
                                            1 mole

Balance the reaction for the combustion of pentane: ?C5H12+?O2→?CO2+?H2O Enter the four coefficients in order, separated by comm
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The four coefficients in order, separated by commas are 1, 8, 5, 6

Explanation:

We count the atoms in order to balance this combustion reaction. In combustion reactions, the products are always water and carbon dioxide.

C₅H₁₂  +  ?O₂→  ?CO₂ + ?H₂O

We have 12 hydrogen in right side and we can balance with 6 in the left side. But the number of oxygen is odd. We add 2 in the  right side, so we have 24 H, and in the product side we add a 12.

As we add 2 in the C₅H₁₂, we have 10 C, so we must add 10 to the CO₂ in the product side.

Let's count the oxygens: 20 from the CO₂ + 12 from the water = 32.

We add 16 in the reactant side. Balanced equation is:

2C₅H₁₂  + 16O₂→  10CO₂ + 12H₂O

We also can divide by /2 in order to have the lowest stoichiometry

C₅H₁₂  + 8O₂→  5CO₂ + 6H₂O
