Do the number of atoms change in a chemical reaction? I will give brainliest

Chemistry
1 answer:
padilas [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The reason comes the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>.

In an ordinary chemical reaction, <em>you cannot create or destroy atoms</em>.

So, you must have as many atoms at the beginning of a reaction (in the reactants) as at the end (in the products)

We use this principle to balance chemical equations.

For example, the equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is

2H₂ + O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O

There are four atoms of H and two of O both before and after the reaction.

Answer: B. Was twice as tall

Explanation: The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.

Determine the resulting pH when 12mL if 0.16M HCl are reacted with 32 mL if 0.24M KOH.
TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, we can set up the following equation:

HCl+KOH\rightarrow KCl+H_2O

Thus, since there is 1:1 mole ratio of HCl to KOH, we can find the reacting moles as follows:

n_{HCl}=0.012L*0.16mol/L=0.00192mol\\\\n_{KOH}=0.032L*0.24mol/L=0.00768mol

Thus, since there are less moles of HCl, we calculate the remaining moles of KOH as follows:

n_{KOH}=0.00768mol-0.00192mol=0.00576mol

And the resulting concentration of KOH and OH ions as this is a strong base:

[KOH]=[OH^-]=\frac{0.00576mol}{0.012L+0.032L}=0.131M

And the resulting pH is:

pH=14+log(0.131)\\\\pH=13.1

Regards!

the concentration of the radio active isotope potassium-40 in a rock sample is found to be 6.25%. what is the age of the rock
julsineya [31]

Answer:

5.0 x 10⁹ years.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
  • The half-life of K-40 = 1.251 × 10⁹ years.

  • For, first order reactions:

<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.

∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1.251 × 10⁹ years) = 5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹.

  • Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:

<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).

[A₀] is the initial concentration of (K-40) ([A₀] = 100%).

[A] is the remaining concentration of (K-40) ([A] = 6.25%).

∴ (5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹)(t) = ln((100%)/( 6.25%))

∴ (5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹)(t) = 2.77.

∴ t = 2.77/(5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹) = 5.0 x 10⁹ years.

3. What measurement unit is used to measure molecules
lakkis [162]

Answer: It is Mole.

Explanation:

Mole is the SI unit of measurement used to measure the number of things, usually atoms or molecules. One mole of something is equal to 6.02214078×1023 of same things (Avogadro's number).
