What differs from between a radioactive isotope and a stable isotope

Chemistry
1 answer:
Digiron [165]4 years ago
7 0

A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.

A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,

The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.

How many grams of ethane gas (C2H6) are in a 12.7 liter sample at 1.6 atmospheres and 24°C? Show all work used to solve this pro
dexar [7]

n = PV/RT

p = 1.6 atm

v = 12.7L

R = 0.0821

T = 24°C which is equivalent to 297.15 degrees k

n = (16 × 12.7) / (0.0821 × 297.15)

n = 20.32 / 24.39

n = 0.83 mol

C = 12.90

H = 1.0079

C2 = 12.010 × 2 = 24.02

H6 = 1.0079 × 6 = 6.0474

C2H6 = 30.0674

Ethane times n which is 30.0674 × 0.83mol

= 24.95 grams of C2H6. Which is Ethane.
