Atoms of the same element can have different forms; for example, carbon-12 and carbon-14.

Chemistry

A carbon-12 atom has 6 protons (6P) and 6 neutrons (6N). But some types of carbon have more than six neutrons. We call forms of elements that have a different number of neutrons, isotopes. For example, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus.

How many oxygen atoms are in 10.0g of 2Al2 CO3 3
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

0.776 ×10²³ atoms of oxygen

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al₂CO₃ = 10.0 g

Number of atoms of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Al₂CO₃:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/233.99 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.043 mol

1 mole of Al₂CO₃ contain 3 mole of oxygen.

0.043 ×3 mol = 0.129 mol

Number of atoms of oxygen:

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

0.129 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms / 1mol

0.776 ×10²³ atoms of oxygen

Why are nails made of iron but not barium and phosphorus?
Marta_Voda [28]

Due to the high strength of iron compared to that of barium and phosphorus the nails are made of iron.

Though iron oxidizes to form rust on reacting with water but it does not explode. Whereas barium reacts vigorously with water with evolution of hydrogen gas. Barium on reacting with other nonmetals results in the formation of poisonous substances. Phosphorus is never found in its pure form in nature and is combustible.

Hence, nails are made up of iron but barium and phosphorus are not suitable for making of nails.

When light is absorbed by chlorophyll that has been extracted into a solvent solution, it _________ releases the energy in the f
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Photosystems PSI (P700) and PSII (P680) and photolysis of water releases energy

In the form of movement of electrons which is later extracted as ATP

Explanation:

On absorbing light energy electrons obtained from photolysis of water and those present in and those present in the reaction centres PSI and PSII move to the higher energy level and electron acceptors accept them. They then move down through the electron transport chain to the lower energy level during which ATP is produced which is a chemical form of energy.
