Isotopes of the same element have different _____. numbers of neutrons numbers of protons numbers of electrons atomic numbers

Why is the first jar of hydrogen gas collected during preparation discarded

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Hydrogen is collected by downward displacement of water as it is less denser than water. Hence it comes out at the surface of water . It is insoluble in water so it does not dissolve in water

How are isotopes of the same chemical element alike? How are they different?

Stella [2.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are the chemical species of the same element having different number of neutrons.

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons present in that element.

Atomic Number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons contained in an atom.

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For isotopes, as the number of neutrons differ, the atomic mass also differs.

For Example: Carbon has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: $_6^{12}\textrm{C},_6^{13}\textrm{C}\text{ and }_6^{14}\textrm{C}$ . The atomic number remains the same but atomic mass differs.

Hence, for isotopes, the atomic mass of these species is different and atomic number remains same.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the coefficent of oxygen gas?

elena55 [62]

By balancing a chemical reaction, you must first balance the atom that is in smaller amount in the chemical species that you have in the reaction. In the combustion reaction presented in the question that atom is carbon (C). Therefore, the first thing to do is multiply the CO2 by 7, since those are the carbon atoms that are in the C7H16O. The reaction would be like this,

C7H16O + O2 → 7CO2 + H2O

You can make a table of the amount of atoms of C, H and O that you have in the reagents and products after you put a coefficient 7 in front of the CO2, in the following way,

R P

C 7 7

H 16 2

O 3 15

Then you balance the hydrogens. It is better that you leave the last oxygens since there is an oxygen molecule alone, so when adding a coefficient to balance it, the quantities of the rest of the atoms in the equation would not be altered.

To balance the hydrogens you add an 8 in front of the H2O molecule in the reagents, since there are 16 hydrogens in the molecule C7H16O and

8H x 2H = 16H.

The reaction and the table would be like this,

C7H16O + O2 → 7CO2 + 8H2O

R P

C 7 7

H 16 16

O 3 22

Finally, you balance the atoms of O. To do this, you add a coefficient of 21/2 to the O2 molecule, this is because (21/2) x2 = 21 and 21 O coming from the O2 molecule plus an O coming from the C7H16O molecule gives a total of 22 O, which are equal to the amount of O we have in the products.

C7H16O + (21/2)O2 → 7CO2 + 8H2O

To bring the coefficients of the reactants and the products to whole numbers multiply all the coefficients by 2. Then the reaction is like,

2 C7H16O + 21O2 → 14CO2 + 16H2O

As you can see when the given reaction is balanced using the smallest possible integers, the coefficent of oxygen gas is 21

Which of the following conditions will ensure that a chemical reaction will definitely proceed in the forward direction, toward

Grace [21]

Answer:

When ΔS > ΔH/ T, then the reaction will proceed forward

Explanation:

The entity that determines the whether a reaction will occur on its own in the forward direction (Spontaneity or Feasibility) is Gibb's free energy.

Gibb's free energy is the energy available to do work. It is denoted as 'G'. It cannot be easily measured. The change (ΔG) can only be measured. ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

when ΔG is positive, The reaction is not spontaneous (reaction will not occur on its own)

When ΔG is negative, The reaction is spontaneous (reaction will occur on its own)

When ΔG is zero, the reaction is in equilibrium

Option A and E are not correct. ΔH (Enthalpy) cannot determine spontaneity

Option C and D cannot alone determine spontaneity of reaction

For reaction to be spontaneous, TΔS > ΔH

Therefore, ΔS > ΔH/T
