Answer:
The correct option is;
A) 1 to 1.
Explanation:
A stab;e nuclei requires the presence of a neutron to accommodate the the protons repulsion forces within the nucleus. An increase in the number of protons should be accompanied by an even more instantaneous increase in the number of neutrons to balance the forces in the nucleus. If there is an excess of neutrons or a deficit in protons a state of unbalance exists in the nucleus, which results to nuclear instability.
Therefore, the ratio of neutrons to protons is an appropriate way in foretelling nuclear stability and a stable nuclei is known to have a proton to neutron ratio of 1:1 and the number of protons and neutrons in the stable nuclei are usually even numbers.
Answer:
11.31g NaClO₂
Explanation:
<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>
It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]
<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>
You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:
[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>
Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:
1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]
0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂
As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:
0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =
<h3>11.31g NaClO₂</h3>
