A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.
A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,
The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.
Answer:
Maybe they both have valence electrons and can be used in chemical reactions. I could be wrong, I don't have any exact answers.
Explanation:
Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO
Explanation:
Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:
(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO
This cancels molecules CO.
Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:
(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO
This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.
Answer:
22.73s
Explanation:
The reaction is a second order reaction, we know this by observing the unit of the slope.
rate constant = k = 0.056 M-1s-1
the initial concentration of BrO- [A]o = 0.80 M
time = ?
Final concentration [A]t= one-half of 0.80 M = 0.40M
1 / [A]t = kt + 1 / [A]o
1 / 0.40 = 0.056 * t + 1 / 0.80
t = (2.5 - 1.25) / 0.056
t = 22.73s
