Deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen of mass number 2, with a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. The chemistry of deuterium is

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

We know that the zero-point-energy of a C-D system is quite lower than the zero point energy of the C-H bond so the C-D bond is stronger.

Kinetic isotope effect refers to the change in the rate of reaction owing to a change of one of the atoms of the reactants by replacing it with one of its isotopes.

Since we know that the C-D bond is stronger than the C-H bond, when we replace hydrogen with deuterium in a reaction's rate determining step we experience a little lag in the rate of reaction. This is referred to as the kinetic isotope effect in physical organic chemistry.

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

1. Number of moles, n

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

2. Mass

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.
