Answer:

Option C. 1

Explanation:

Step 1:

Determination of the Neutron of both isotopes. This is illustrated below.

For isotope y xA:

Mass number = y

Atomic number = x

Neutron =..?

Atomic number = proton number = x

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

y = x + Neutron

Rearrange

Neutron = y – x

For isotope (y + 1) xA:

Mass number = y + 1

Atomic number = x

Neutron =.?

Atomic number = proton number = x

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

y + 1 = x + Neutron

Rearrange

Neutron = y + 1 – x

Step 2:

Determination of the difference between the neutron number of both isotopes. This is illustrated below:

For isotope y xA:

Neutron number = y – x

For isotope (y + 1) xA:

Neutron number = y + 1 – x

Difference in neutron number

=> (y + 1 – x) – (y – x)

=> y + 1 – x – y + x

Rearrange

=> y – y + 1 – x + x

=> 1

Therefore, the difference in the neutron number of both isotopes is 1

Why will a reaction occur between calcium oxalate and platinum?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Complex formation

Explanation:

At first sight, one may think that a reaction between calcium oxalate and platinum metal is impossible considering the relative positions of the two metals in the electrochemical series.

However, in solution, calcium oxalate dissociates into calcium and oxalate ions. When platinum is added to this solution, a complex is formed between the platinum ions and the oxalate ions. Hence a reaction occurs for this reason.

Balancing the reaction by oxidation number method k2cr2o7+sncl2+hcl

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$

Explanation:

The products of this reaction are given by:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + SnCl_2 (aq) + HCl (aq)\rightarrow KCl (aq) + SnCl_4 (aq) + CrCl_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)$

Firstly, dichromate anion becomes chromium(III) cation, let's write this change:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+} (aq)$

The following steps should be taken:

balance the main element, chromium: multiply the right side by 2 to get 2 chromium species on both side:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq)$

balance oxygen atoms by adding 7 water molecules on the right:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the hydrogen atoms by adding 14 protons on the left:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the charge (the total net charge on the left is 12+, on the right we have 6+, so 6 electrons are needed on the left):

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

Similarly, tin(II) cation becomes tin(IV) cation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Now that we have the two half-equations, multiply the second one by 3, so that it also has 6 electrons that will be cancelled out upon addition of the two half-equations:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

$3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 3 Sn^{4+} (aq) + 6e^-$

Add them together:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 Sn^{4+} (aq)$

Adding the ions spectators:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$

Select the correct answer. which tool is used to measure an object’s mass? a. graduated cylinder b. meter stick c. digital therm

zavuch27 [327]

The tool or instrument which is used to measure an object’s mass is electronic balance

Mass is a fundamental quantity

<h3>What is fundamental quantities?</h3>

Fundamental quantities can be defined as those physical quantities which forms the basic unit of measurement. They are the quantities upon which other quantities and units are derived from.

Mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

Other examples of fundamental quantities apart from mass are as follows:

Length
Time
Amount of substances
Luminous intensity
Temperature
Magnetic flux

So therefore, the tool or instrument which is used to measure an object’s mass is electronic balance
