What is an isotope ? how is the mass calculated ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
leonid [27]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom

Explanation:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit (amu). By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom

What are the three challenges of a cell?
Zolol [24]
<span>The cell must exchange materials with the environment across the surface membrane. An increase in size will result in a relatively greater increase in volume and mass than in surface area, so that the cell will lose effective exchange capacity.

Calculate the volume, in milliliters, for the following:
fredd [130]

Answer: The volume for 0.850 mol of NaNO_{3} from a NaNO_{3} solution is 1700 mL.

The volume of 30.0 g of LiOH from a 2.70 M LiOH solution is 464 mL.

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present in a liter of solution.

  • As given moles of NaNO_{3} are 0.850 mol and molarity of NaNO_{3} solution is 0.5 M. Hence, its volume is calculated as follows.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\0.5 M = \frac{0.850 mol}{Volume}\\Volume = 1.7 L (1 L = 1000 mL)\\= 1700 mL

Therefore, the volume for 0.850 mol of NaNO_{3} from a NaNO_{3} solution is 1700 mL.

  • As given mass of LiOH are 30.0 g from a 2.70 M LiOH (molar mass = 23.95 g/mol) solution. Hence, its number of moles are calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{30.0 g}{23.95 g/mol}\\= 1.25 mol

So, volume for LiOH solution is calculated as follows.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\2.70 M = \frac{1.25}{Volume}\\Volume = 0.464 L (1 L = 1000 mL)\\= 464 mL

Therefore, volume of 30.0 g of LiOH from a 2.70 M LiOH solution is 464 mL.

Which of the following statements would be accepted as a valid criticism of
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

There are three significant problems:

The Flatness Problem:

WMAP has determined the geometry of the universe to be nearly flat. However, under Big Bang cosmology, curvature grows with time. A universe as flat as we see it today would require an extreme fine-tuning of conditions in the past, which would be an unbelievable coincidence.

The Horizon Problem:

Distant regions of space in opposite directions of the sky are so far apart that, assuming standard Big Bang expansion, they could never have been in causal contact with each other. This is because the light travel time between them exceeds the age of the universe. Yet the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background temperature tells us that these regions must have been in contact with each other in the past.

The Monopole Problem:

Big Bang cosmology predicts that a very large number of heavy, stable "magnetic monopoles" should have been produced in the early universe. However, magnetic monopoles have never been observed, so if they exist at all, they are much more rare than the Big Bang theory predicts.
