Why is a neutral iron atom a different element than a neutral carbon atom?

1 answer:

3 0

Atomic number. In all atoms the distinct properties of that atom are a result of the number of protons that atom is composed of. A carbon atom has six protons, while an iron atom has 26.

How does carbon exist in the atmosphere?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Carbon is found in the atmosphere mostly as carbon dioxide. Animal and plant respiration place carbon into the atmosphere. When you exhale, you are placing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon is found in the lithosphere in the form of carbonate rocks. Carbonate rocks came from ancient marine plankton that sunk to the bottom of the ocean

Definition of a solvent , solution , solute !!!!!!!!!! ;)

steposvetlana [31]

A solution is a mixture (solvent + solute) of 2 or more elements, for example chocolate milk.

A solvent is the base of the solution which dissovles a solute, for example milk.

A solute is what is dossolved by the solvent, for example chocolate powder.

A mixture of ethyl acetate vapour and air has a relative saturation of 50% at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the vapo

AURORKA [14]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 0.087

Explanation :

The formula used for relative saturation is:

$\text{Relative saturation}=\frac{P_A}{P_A^o}$

where,

$P_A$ = partial pressure of ethyl acetate

$P_A^o$ = vapor pressure of ethyl acetate

Given:

Relative saturation = 50 % = 0.5

Vapor pressure of ethyl acetate = 16 kPa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.5=\frac{P_A}{16kPa}$

$P_A=8kPa$

Now we have to calculate the molar saturation.

The formula used for molar saturation is:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

and,

P(vapor free) = Total pressure - Vapor pressure

P(vapor) = $P_A$ = 8 kPa

So,

P(vapor free) = 100 kPa - 8 kPa = 92 kPa

The molar saturation will be:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{8kPa}{92kPa}=0.087$

Therefore, the molar saturation is 0.087

Describe the difference between intensive and extensive propoerties. Which of the following propoerties are intensive: (a) mass;

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The properties that do not vary with the variation in the quantity of the material are called as intensive property.

While the extensive properties are those which vary with the variation in the quantity of the material.

Intensive properties:

Mass and volume

Extensive properties:

Density and melting point

Explanation:

The properties that do not vary with the variation in the quantity of the material are called as intensive property.

While the extensive properties are those which vary with the variation in the quantity of the material.

Intensive properties:

Mass and volume, as with increase in quantity of the material mass and volume increases.

Extensive properties:

Density and melting point, as they remain constant for a object or material

Which types of reactions would result in the production of light?

vichka [17]

Answer:

Inorganic chemical reactions involve compounds without carbon atoms. Some of these chemical reactions emit light as the chemical compounds react. When light is emitted as a result of the chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be luminescent.
