Answer:

The number in C-12 and C-14 represent their atomic masses.

Explanation:

The number in C-12 and C-14 represent their atomic masses.

These two are the isotopes of carbon.

Isotopes of an element have same atomic number and different atomic masses due to different number of neutrons present.

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus. All these three subatomic particles construct an atom.

All isotopes of carbon have same number of electrons and protons i.e, six

while C-14 has 8 neutrons and C-12 has six neutrons.

C-14 = 14-6 = 8

C-12 = 12-6 = 6

Thus sum of neutrons and protons is atomic mass that's why C-14 has 14 atomic mass (8+6=14) while C-12 has 12 atomic mass (6+6=12).

What are some double replacement reactions you see every day

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sodium Bicarbonate (β-3) + Vinegar
Lead Nitrate + Potassium iodide

Explanation:

Baking Soda and vinegar cause an explosion, in which the bicarbonate and vinegar are replaced by nitrate (∨) and oxide (Ф.) When you combine lead nitrate (Δω) with potassium iron, you also see the ingredients you combined disappear, which shall cause a replace reaction

Para la siguiente reacción química demuestre que cumple con la Ley de la Conservación de la Materia. Recuerde que debe justifica

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

In this chemical reaction, which is considered irreversible, that is why the reaction arrow is ONE and unidirectional and not two in opposite directions, which means reversibility of the reaction.

In summary, if we look closely at the reaction, we observe that the stoichiometric values are balanced in the reaction, therefore there is THE SAME AMOUNT OF REAGENTS AS PRODUCTS.

This phenomenon has to be met in ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS, the stoichiometric balance is essential for this reaction to be well expressed.

Why is stoichiometric balance so important? Why we indicate that we have the same amount of reagents as products, means that NOTHING IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS TRANSFORMED in the matter of the organic compounds that reacted.

Explanation:

Although if we observe the stoichiometric values well they are not correct with respect to oxygen, therefore it would be necessary to correct that in the chemical reaction, but above we briefly explain why the balancing of the reactions and the relationship they have with the conservation of the mass.

The law of conservation of mass indicates that mass is never lost, but is transformed, like energy, considering that it happens in terrestrial life.

An average person expends about 845 kilojoules of energy per hour of walking. Suppose a person eats 2 baked potatoes with butter

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2hours}$

Explanation:

You will need to use the conversion between food calories, calories and joules.

$1\text { nutritional calorie }= 1,000cal\\ \\ 1cal=4.184joule$

From a nutritional table (from the internet) you can obtain the amount of nutritional calories for each type macronutrient: carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Macronutrient food calories

Carbohydrate 4 cal/g

Protein 4 cal/g

Fat 9 cal/g

To convert food calories to regular calories, mutiply by the conversion factor:

$1=1,000cal/\text{nutritional calorie}$

Macronutrient calories

Carbohydrate 4,000 cal/g

Protein 4,000 cal/g

Fat 9,000 cal/g

To convert regular calories to joules, multiply by the conversion factor:

$1=4.184 joule/1cal$

Macronutrient energy in joules

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g

Protein 16,736 joule/g

Fat 37,656 joule/g

Now you can multiply the grams of each macronutrient in one potato by its energy content:

Macronutrient energy/gram × grams = total energy

Carbohydrate 16,736 joule/g × 37 g = 619,232 joules

Protein 16,736 joule/g × 4.3 g = 71,968.8 joules

Fat 37,656 joule/g × 4 g = 150,624 joules

Total = 619,232 joules + 71,968.8 joules + 150,624 joules = 841,820.8 joules.

Since they are two potatoes, multiply by 2: × 841,820.8 joules = 1,683,641.6 joules.

Divide by 1,000 to convert to kilojoules = 1,683.64 kilojoules

Divide the total energy from the two potatoes by the energy that an average person expend per hour of walking (845 kilojoules of energy per hour):

$1,683.64kilojoules/845kilojouesl/hour=1.99hours\approx 2hours$
