They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.

The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons

It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.

Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

protons determine what element it is, but there are still electrons and neutrons. if, for example, there are three protons in an atom, it's a lithium atom no matter what. however, if it has any more or any less than three electrons, it's an ion (an atom with a charge). if it has any more or any less than three neutrons, it's an isotope (which has a different mass than a normal atom of an element, and is also radioactive).

Mass of CaCl₂ = 0.732 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

$\tt \%(m/v)\rightarrow 12\%=\dfrac{mass~CaCl_2}{volume~of~solution}\times 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=12\%\times 6.1\div 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=0.732~g$

The density of lead is 11.4g/cm3. What volume, in ft3, would be occupied by 10.0 g of lead?

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

3.10×10¯⁵ ft³.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Density (D) of lead = 11.4 g/cm³

Mass (m) of lead = 10 g

Volume (V) of lead =.?

Density (D) = mass (m) / Volume (V)

D = m/V

11.4 = 10 / V

Cross multiply

11.4 × V = 10

Divide both side by 11.4

V = 10 / 11.4

V = 0.877 cm³

Finally, we shall convert 0.877 cm³ to ft³. This can be obtained as follow:

1 cm³ = 3.531×10¯⁵ ft³

Therefore,

0.877 cm³ = 0.877 cm³ × 3.531×10¯⁵ ft³ /1 cm³

0.877 cm³ = 3.10×10¯⁵ ft³

Thus, 0.877 cm³ is equivalent to 3.10×10¯⁵ ft³.

Therefore, the volume of the lead in ft³ is 3.10×10¯⁵ ft³.

What is the pH of pure water at 40.0Â°C if the Kw at this temperature is 2.92 - 10-147 OA) 6.767 O B) 0 465 O c) 7.000 OD) 7 233

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

PH= 6.767 (answer is the A option)

Explanation:

first we need to correct the value in Kw at this temperature is 2.92*10^-14

so, in this case we have that:

Kw=2.92*10^-14 M²

[ H3O^+] [ H3O^+]

$[H_{3}O^{+} ] [OH^{-} ] = Kw = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2} \\\\$

at 40ºC

$[H_{3}O^{+} ] = [OH^{-} ]$

$[H_{3}O^{+} ]^{2} = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2}$

$[H_{3}O^{+} ] = (2.92*10^{-14})^{1/2} = 1.71*10^{-7} M$

$PH= -log10[H_{3}O^{+} ] = -log10(1.71*10^{-7} ) = 6.767$

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy In the reaction listed above, 1 molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxyg

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Third choice: energy present in the glucose and oxygen that is not needed for the formation of carbon dioxide and water is released to form energy/ATP.

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation (given):

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy

2) Chemical potential energy:

Each compound stores chemical potential energy. This energy is stored in the chemical bonds.

Due to every substance has its own unique chemical potential energy, when a chemical reaction takes plase, yielding to the change of some substances, some energy is absorbed (when bonds are formed) and some energy is released (when bonds are broken).

3) Conservation of energy:

Then, if the sum of the bond energies of the final products is less than the sum of the bond energies of the reactants, the law of conservation of energy rules that the difference between the total energies of the products and reactants must be released to the surroundings.

That is what is happening in the given reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy

The term energy in the product side means that energy is conserved because it is being released due to the the glucose and oxygen (reactant side) have more energy stored in their bonds than the energy needed for the formation of carbon dioxide and water, so that excess of energy is released to form energy/ATP.

Summarizing:

The energy on the product side added to the energy of carbon dioxide and water equals the energy of the glucose and oxygen and the final balance is:

∑ Energy of the reactants = ∑energy of the products + released energy, supporting the law of conservation of energy.
