* Lab question: How can you distinguish a physical change from a chemical change?
> Format: How can you distinguish A from B?
Answer! Comparison: physical changes vs. chemical changes
Explanation:
The two isotopes of lithium given are similar in the sense that they have the same atomic number which is 3.
Every kind of an atom of an element have the same atomic number. Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
The atoms are different in that they have different mass number because the number of protons they contain are different.
So for isotopes;
- They have the same electronic configuration
- They have similar chemical properties
- But their masses differs
- Their abundance in nature also differs.
<span>The coorrect answer is option A. The pressure of the gas can cause the ideal gas constant R, to take dfferent values. Because all the other three factors namely, Temperature (T), Volume(V) and the number of moles (n) can change the pressure of a gas. So, I f we change the pressure of the gas alone, we can change its gas constant R value.</span>
i) 2KClO3 → 2KCL + 3O2
ii) HNO3 + NaHCO3 → H20 + CO2
iii) 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
