Answer:

D. THEY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS BUT DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF NEUTRONS.

Explanation:

Isotopy is the phenomenon that explains the various variants of an element having different number of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element that possesses the same number of proton or atomic number but different mass number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons and electrons contained by the element while the mass number is the sum total of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the elements.

Examples of isotopes are the hydrogen atom, chlorine element and so on.

Hydrogen has three isotopes which are hydrogen H, Deuterium and Tritium. Chlorine has two isotopes which are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37.

So the true options about isotopes is that they possess the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrins.

What is the mass of the block of iron illustrated below?

Mandarinka [93]

VOLUME= 5cm*10cm*2cm =100cm^3
but density of iron=7.874g/cm^3
mass=7.874g*100 =787.4g
mass of that block = 787.4g

Given the balanced equation, 2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O, answer the following

9966 [12]

Answer: $O_2$ is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles$

$\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles$

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of $O_2$ require = 2 moles of $H_2$

Thus 0.625 moles of $O_2$ will require= $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles$ of $H_2$

Thus $O_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $H_2$ is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.

A gas cylinder is filled with argon at a pressure of 177 atm and 25°C. What is the gas pressure when the temperature of the cyli

Elena L [17]

277.79 atm is the calculated gas pressure.

The ideal gas is a fictitious concept used to study how real gases behave by comparing them to their deviations. The pressure-temperature rules are followed by an ideal gas.

177 atm is the initial pressure. The starting temperature is 298 K (25 °C = 25 + 273 °C).

195°C = 195+273

= 468K is the final temperature.

The pressure temperature relation illustrated below can be used to get the final pressure.

P1/T1 = P2/T1

= P1T2/T1

= 177 atm 468 K /298 K

= 277.97 atm

The final pressure is therefore 277.97 atm.
