How do you determine the charge of an isotope?

Chemistry

Advocard [28]3 years ago

Answer:

If the protons in the atom outnumber the  electrons, the isotope has more positive charges than negative charges but If the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion charge will be negative.

Explanation:

The charge of an isotope is defined by how many more protons there are than electrons.

Or the other way around.

For example if there are 4 protons and 2 electrons, the ion charge is +2 because there are more protons.

If there are 4 electrons and 2 protons, the ion charge is -2 because there are more electrons.

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction
Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

<u>The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻</u>

<u />

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

<u>There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.</u>

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

<em>The chemical equation for this reaction is:</em>

HA  +  B  ⇌  A⁻  +  HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

<u>The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻</u>

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

<u>There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.</u>

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.
