Calculate the electric double layer thickness of a alumina colloid in a dilute (0.1 mol/dm3) CsCI electrolyte solution at 30 °C.

How are these numbers affected by the addition of 0.1 mol/dm3 of KCL? At what distance from the particle surface (r) has the potential decayed to 1% of its initial value?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Concentration = 0.1 mol/dm^{3}

                             = 0.1 \frac{mol dm^{3}}{dm^{3}} \frac{10^{3}}{dm^{3}} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1 mol} ions

                             = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

               T = 30^{o}C = (30 + 273) K = 303 K

Formula for electric double layer thickness (\lambda_{D}) is as follows.

            \lambda_{D} = \frac{1}{k} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}

where, n^{o} = concentration = 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3}

Hence, putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

                 \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{\varepsilon \varepsilon_{o} K_{g}T}{2 n^{o} z^{2} \varepsilon^{2}}                    

                          = \sqrt \frac{78 \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12} c^{2}/Jm \times 1.38 \times 10^{-23}J/K \times 303 K}{2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{25} ions/m^{3} \times (1)^{2} \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}  

                         = 9.669 \times 10^{-10} m

or,                     = 9.7 A^{o}

                          = 1 nm (approx)

Also, it is known that \lambda_{D} = \sqrt \frac{1}{n^{o}}

Hence, we can conclude that addition of 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of KCl in 0.1 mol/dm^{3} of NaBr "\lambda_{D}" will decrease but not significantly.

Effectus [21]
Hey there!

Just say what color you think the mixture would look like if those elements were combined. Personally I don't know because I don't have context, but if it comes to it just pick a color :)

Good luck, have a good night.

Why do isotope decay
BaLLatris [955]

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

What is the name for a substance made of billions of oppositely charged ions<br> joined together?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Ionic substance

Explanation:

An ionic substance is formed when oppositely charged ions link up to form an infinitely large lattice structure that can only be described in terms of unit cells.

Ionic substances may consist of billions of oppositely charged ions. Ionic substances are hard, have high melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free in the solid state.

However, in solution or molten state, the substance conducts electricity since the ions which are the charge carriers are now mobile.
