Explanation:

In a chemical equilibrium, there are different reactants and products are involved. For example, reaction equation for self-ionization is as follows.

$H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + OH^{-}$

This reaction is a chemical equilibrium. Also, nitrogen dioxide when present in equilibrium with nitrogen tetraoxide represents chemical equilibrium.

$2NO_{2} \rightleftarrow N_{2}O_{4}$

On the other hand, in a physical equilibrium same substance is present in different physical states. For example, when ice is present in equilibrium with water then it shows physical equilibrium.

$H_{2}O(s) \rightleftharpoons H_{2}O(l)$

And, liquid water present in equilibrium with water vapor also represents physical equilibrium.

$H_{2}O(l) \rightleftarrow H_{2}O(g)$

Technetium-99 is an ideal radioisotope for scanning organs because it has a half-life of 6.0 h and is a pure gamma emitter. supp

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: 20 mg Te-99 remains after 12 hours.

Explanation: N(t) = N(0)*(1/2)^(t/t1/2)

N(t) = (80 mg)*(0.5)^(12/6)

N(t) = 20 mg remains after 12 hours

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$

Purple Group Header Warm-Up Why can I smell a chocolate bar even though it is a solid? Read the description of the office myster

likoan [24]

Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.
