If an element has 4 naturally occuring isotopes, how many peaks will show up in the mass spectra?

Chemistry

BartSMP [9]3 years ago

Base peak: The most intense (tallest) peak in a mass spectrum, due to the ion with the greatest relative abundance (relative intensity; height of peak along the spectrum's y-axis). Not to be confused with molecular ion: base peaks are not always molecular ions, and molecular ions are not always base peaks.

A plot of binding energy per nucleon Eb A versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have a small bin
Illusion [34]

Answer:

6He =   4.90 MeV/Nucleon

8Li =     5.18  MeV / Nucleon

62Ni =   8.82 MeV / Nucleon

115 In =  8.54 MeV / Nucleon

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to remember that when the mass of a given nuclei is calculated from the sum of the mass of its  protons and neutrons, this mass is greater than  the actual  value . This is the mass defect.

Now this mass defect we can convert to energy  by utilizing Einstein´s equation, E = mc².This is  the binding energy.

For 6He with actual mass 6.0189 u ( He has Z = 2, that is 2 protons )

mass protons =   2 x 1.0078 u  =  2.0516 u

mass neutrons = 4 x 1.0087 u  =  4.0348 u

predicted mass = (2.0516 + 4.0348) u = 6.0504 u

mass defect = (6.0504 - 6.0189) u = 0.0315 u

Now we need to convert this mass expressed in atomic mass units to kilograms ( 1 u = 1.66054 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg )

0.0315 u x 1.66054 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg =5.231 x 10⁻²⁹ Kg

E =5.231x 10⁻²⁸ Kg x (3 x 10⁸ m/s )² = 4.707 x 10⁻¹²J

Finally we will convert this energy in Joules to eV

E = 4.707 x 10⁻¹²  J x 6.242 x 10¹⁸ eV/J = 2.94 x 10⁷ eV = 29.4 MeV

E per nucleon for 6He = 29.4 MeV / 6 =4.90 MeV / Nucleon

Now the calculations for the rest of the nuclei are performed in similar manner with the following results:

8Li = 5.18 MeV / Nucleon

62Ni = 8.82 MeV / Nucleon

115 In =  8.54 MeV / Nucleon

How many molecules of co2,h2o,c3h8, and o2 will be present if the reaction goes to completion?
Nadya [2.5K]

Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present

The reaction will be

C3H8(g)  + 5O2(g)  ----> 3CO2(g)   + 4H2O

so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2

now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O

Hence answer is

molecules of CO2 formed = 6

Molecules of H2O formed = 8

molecules of C3H8 left = 1

molecules of O2 left = 0

Ocean currents determine the various directions of wind movement.

<h3>What is ocean current?</h3>

Ocean currents are caused by differences in density as well as the temperature of the moving winds across the ocean. In the ocean, warm water is found at the top while cooler water occurs far below.

Warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. The ocean currents control the direction of winds in an area.

The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is
yuradex [85]
<span>The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is A. 61.97894. The molecular mass of a molecule (Mr) is the sum of atomic masses of its atoms (Ar). The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * Ar (Na) + Ar(O). From the periodic table, Ar(Na) = 22.989769 and Ar(O) = 15.9994. The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * 22.989769 + 15.9994 = 45.979538 + 15.9994 = 61.97894.</span>

When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased
a_sh-v [17]

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B
