Paladinen [302]3 years ago

Polar Covalent is the name used to describe bonds that have both ionic and covalent character because the electrons are shared unequally. The Pauling Scale is used to assign electronegativity to atoms. It ranges from to 4.00 (fluorine).

Only radioactive isotopes are useful for radiometric dating or medical diagnostic exams. Briefly explain why stable isotopes wou
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of elements that have the same atomic number but different mass number hence ISOTOPY. Radioactive Isotopes on the other hand are unstable as they either undergo Alpha decay, beta decay or gamma decay compared to stable isotopes.

Radioactive elements decay at varyinf rates as such the rate of radioactive decay is used in the characterization of radioactive element and mostly expressed in terms of the half life of the radioactive elements.

Half life is the time taken for half of the total atoms of an elements to decay into half of its initial sizes. for example, the half life of radium-226 is 1622 years, it implies that if we have 1000000 radium atoms at the beginning, then at the end of 1622years, 500000 would have disintegrated. These phenomenon can never be experienced by stable isotopes as such they can not be used in carbon dating techniques. reason why uranium-238 is mostly and commonly used in the earth crust to estimate the ages of rocks because it has a half life of 4.5 x 10^9 years.

And also, the radioactive isotopes of most common light element are short, they have very short half life (few days or weeks) and they decay rapidly to vanshing point, as such, they are not found in nature to any reasonable extent.

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.</em>

<em></em>

<em>The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt</em>

<em></em>

<em>1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

<em>2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.
