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.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.

2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg

Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?

The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ

592 = 261 + Pₙ

Collect like terms

592 – 261 = Pₙ

331 = Pₙ

Pₙ = 331 mmHg

Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg

Explain why lithium is a strong reducing agent, whereas fluorine is a strong oxidizing agent.
Tom [10]
Lithium is a good reducing agent because it is electropositive [it rapidly gains electrons]
fluorine is  good oxidizing agent electronegative [it loses electrons fastly]

In a chemical reaction, the reactants (beginning elements or compounds) but have the same number and type of atoms as the produc
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:The law of conservation of matter says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In chemical equations, the number of atoms of each element in the reactants must be the same as the number of atoms of each element in the products. ... There are two oxygen atoms in the reactants and two atoms of oxygen in the product.
