Chlorine is highly reactive than Silicon.

<u>Answer:</u> Chlorine will be more reactive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move from left to right in a period because the valence shell come closer to nucleus as we move from left to right.

So, addition of new electron in the valence shell becomes easier due to greater attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

We are given:

Silicon is present in Group 14 and chlorine is present in group 17.

Hence, chlorine will be more reactive.

The 235U isotope (atomic mass = 235.00) undergoes fission when bombarded with neutrons. However, its natural abundance is only 0
Marianna [84]

Answer:

So ²³⁵UF₆ effuses 1.0043 times faster than ²³⁸UF₆

Explanation:

The rate of effusion of two gases A and B can be expressed by <em>Graham's law</em>:

\frac{EffusionRateA}{EffusionRateB}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}} }

Where M is the molar mass, and in this case A is ²³⁵UF₆ while B is ²³⁸UF₆.

So now we <u>calculate the molar mass of each mass</u>:

²³⁵UF₆ ⇒235 + 6*19 = 349 g/mol

²³⁸UF₆ ⇒238 + 6*19 = 352 g/mol

Putting the data in Graham's law:

\frac{Rate^{235}UF_{6}}{Rate^{238}UF_{6}}=\sqrt{\frac{352}{349} } = 1.0043

So ²³⁵UF₆ effuses 1.0043 times faster than ²³⁸UF₆.

What is the atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons?
DedPeter [7]

The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is<u> </u><u>13</u>

Explanation:

Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;

6 +  7 = 13

Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12

A student placed 15.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then
Ede4ka [16]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of glucose in final solution is 1.085 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}      ......(1)

Given mass of glucose = 15.5 g

Molar mass of glucose = 180.2 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Molarity of glucose solution}=\frac{15.5\times 1000}{180.2\times 100}\\\\\text{Molarity of glucose solution}=0.860M

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated glucose solution

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted glucose solution

We are given:

M_1=0.860M\\V_1=35.0mL\\M_2=?M\\V_2=0.500L=500mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.860\times 35.0=M_2\times 500\\\\M_2=\frac{0.860\times 35.0}{500}=0.0602M

Now, calculating the mass of glucose by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of glucose solution = 0.0602 M

Molar mass of glucose = 180.2 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0602=\frac{\text{Mass of glucose solution}\times 1000}{180.2\times 100}\\\\\text{Mass of glucose solution}=\frac{0.0602\times 180.2\times 100}{1000}=1.085g

Hence, the mass of glucose in final solution is 1.085 grams

What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
<span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span>+Δ→KCl<span>(s)</span>+<span>32</span><span>O2</span><span>(g)</span></span>

Approx. <span>3L</span> of dioxygen gas will be evolved.

Explanation:

We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.

Moles of <span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span></span> = <span><span>10.0⋅g</span><span>122.55⋅g⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span></span> = <span>0.0816⋅mol</span>

And thus <span><span>32</span>×0.0816⋅mol</span> dioxygen are produced, i.e. <span>0.122⋅mol</span>.

At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span>.

And thus, volume of gas produced = <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span>×0.0816⋅mol≅3L</span>

Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically <span>Mn<span>O2</span></span>.

With white light, a team measured a 0.7% percent change with 3.5g of plant matter in a one liter container. Convert
Strike441 [17]

moles CO₂ = 5.57.10⁻⁴

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

Can be formulated :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}

0.7% percent change with 3.5g of plant matter

mass :

\tt 0.7\%\times 3.5~g=0.0245~g

moles :

\tt moles=\dfrac{0.0245}{44}=0.000557=5.57.10^{-4}
