The isotope is phosphorus-32.  

It possesses 15 protons that make it phosphorus, 15 electrons, thus, the charges get balanced, and it is electrically neutral. It has 17 neutrons, so in combination, it has 32 protons/neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, the name is phosphorus-32.  

The phosphorus-32 is a beta-emitter with a half-life of 14.3 days that is, used regularly in life-science projects, mainly to generate radiolabeled RNA and DNA probes, like for application in Southern Blots and Northern Blots.

What are the correct half reactions for the following reaction:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

Explanation:

  • It is a redox reaction that is consisted of two half-reactions:

Oxidation reaction:

Zn losses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Zn²⁺:

<em>Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.</em>

<em></em>

Reduction reaction:

H⁺ gains 1 electron and is reduced to H:

<em>2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>

The mass change, or the mass defect, can be calculated by the formula that is very known to be associated with Albert Einstein. 

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy gained or released during the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
Δm is the mass change

(1.715×10³ kJ)(1,000 J/1 kJ) = Δm(3×10⁸ m/s)²
Δm = 1.91×10⁻¹¹ kg

What volume in mt, of 0.5a M1HCI solution is needed to neutralize 77 ml of 1.54 M NaOH solution?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

237.2 mL.

Explanation:

  • We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.

(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.

where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.

M is the molarity of the acid or base.

V is the volume of the acid or base.

<em>(XMV) HCl = (XMV) NaOH.</em>

<em></em>

For HCl; X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = ??? mL.

For NaOH, X = 1, M = 1.54 M, V = 77.0 mL.

<em>∴ V of HCl = (XMV) NaOH / (XV) HCl = (</em>1)(1.54 M)(77.0 mL) / (1)(0.5 M) = <em>237.2 mL.</em>

Deffense [45]

Answer:

2Li(s) + ⅛S₈(s, rhombic) + 2O₂(g) → Li₂SO₄(s)  

Explanation:

A thermochemical equation must show the formation of 1 mol of a substance from its elements in their most stable state,.

The only equation that meets those conditions is the last one.

A and B are wrong , because they show Li₂SO₄ as a reactant, not a product.

C is wrong because Li⁺ and SO₄²⁻ are not elements.

D is wrong because it shows the formation of 8 mol of Li₂SO₄.
