What differentiates the isotopes of an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sdas [7]4 years ago
5 0
Each atomic number identifies a specific element, but not the isotope; an atom of a given element may have a wide range in its number of neutrons. The number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons) in the nucleus is the atom's mass number<span>, and each isotope of a given element has a different </span>mass number<span>.</span>

Given: N2 + 3Cl2 → 2NCl3, ΔH = 464 kJ/mol Use the given bond energies and the periodic table to calculate the energy change in t
guapka [62]

The given chemical reaction is:

N_{2}+3Cl_{2}-->2NCl_{3}

ΔH^{0}_{reaction}=∑BE(reactants)-∑BE(products)

                 = {(941 kJ/mol) + (3 * 242 kJ/mol)} -[{2*(3*200 kJ/mol)}]

                     = 467 kJ/mol

Calculating the change in heat when 85.3 g chlorine reacts in the above reaction:

Moles of chlorine = 85.3 g Cl_{2}* \frac{1 mol Cl_{2}} {70.91 g Cl_{2}  }

                             = 1.20 mol Cl_{2}

Heat change when 1.20 mol chlorine reacts

                             = 1.20 mol * \frac{467kJ}{mol} =560.4 kJ

Describe what subatomic particle is involved in light emission.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Option C= light is emitted as electron falls from the excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

If 1495 J of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 319 g sample of a metal from 55.0°C to 66.0°C, what is the specific he
Olegator [25]
The specific  heat  capacity  of the  metal  is calculated  using  the  following  formula
Q(heat)= MC delta T
Q= 1495 j
c= specific heat   capacity =?
M(mass)=319 g
delta T = change  in  temperature = 66-55 =11 c
by  making   c  the subject  of the formula 

  C=Q /M delta T
c= 1495 j/ 319 g  x 11 c =0.426 j/g/c
