<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotope is defined as the chemical specie which belong to the same element but differ in their molecular mass.

The isotopes have same atomic mass but differ in their mass numbers

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Thus, isotopes of an element has same number of protons but they differ in the number of neutrons.

<u>For Example:</u> Chlorine has 2 isotopes, _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\text{ and }_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}

  • <u>In _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Number of protons = 17

Number of neutrons = 35 - 17 = 18

  • <u>In _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Number of protons = 17

Number of neutrons = 37 - 17 = 20

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Balance the following equation; then determine how many grams of CO2 will be produced when 40.0 mol of CO reacts with Fe2O3.
sashaice [31]

 Fe2O3      +       3CO -------->    2Fe    +      CO2

      1           :          3         :            2      :         3

   13.3       <---     40    ------> 26.6      --->     40    ( mol)

n = m/M

m CO2 = n.M = 13.3  .    40   =  532 ( g)

p/s : i hope that this will help  ( cause i'm not really good at english :}}} )

gypsum is insoluble in water. you are asked to purify a sample of gypsum that is contaminated with a soluble salt.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a. The apparatus required to purify gypsum sample are: Bunsen burner, beaker, Filter Funnel, stirring rod, the filter paper.

b. Gypsum is a sulfate mineral that is made up of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Step-by-step instruction to purify gypsum sample is as follows:

1. Add water to the gypsum sample in a beaker.

2. Use the stirring rod to mix the mixture well.

3. Filter off the excess solid from the mixture using the filter paper and filter funnel.

4. Put the filtered mixture over the bunsen burner and evaporate the excess water from the mixture.

5. Allow the hot liquid to cool down and filter it again through the filter paper to get the pure gypsum.

The proposed mechanism for a reaction is: Step 1: A + B X (fast) Step 2: X + C Y (slow) Step 3: Y D (fast) What is the overall r
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.
