What defines the mass number of an isotope

Chemistry

vekshin14 years ago
8 0
The mass number of an isotope is determined by the number of neutrons in the isotope plus the number of protons.
For instance Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon. The "13" is the mass number of the isotope.
So, in this example, 13 = #protons + #neutrons

What is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.19 m aqueous solution?
Bumek [7]
Molality= mol/ Kg

if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute. 

the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution

1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water. 

2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water 

molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol

1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol

3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution

4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543

How many carbon atoms are in the following molecule of isobutane? (ch3)3ch
wariber [46]
The subscript 3 outside of the parentheses means to multiply everything in the parentheses by 3, so it becomes a matter of addition:
3*(CH3) * (1 carbon atom)/(CH3) = 3 carbon atoms in (CH3)3
CH has one carbon atom and one hydrogen atom, so:
1 carbon atom in CH
Add both of them together, and you get 4 carbon atoms in isobutane

Nitric acid is often manufactured from the atmospheric gases nitrogen and oxygen, plus hydrogen prepared by reforming of natural
ikadub [295]

Answer: N_2(g)+3H_2(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(g)+2H_2O(g)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical reaction for nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)     (1)

The balanced chemical reaction for ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric acid and water:

NH_3(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow HNO_3(g)+H_2O(g) \times 2

2NH_3(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(g)+2H_2O(g)    (2)

The net chemical equation for the production of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen by adding 1 and 2

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)+4O_2(g)\rightarrow 2HNO_3(g)+2H_2O(g)
