What is the mass number of an isotope

2 answers:

8 0

The mass number given on the periodic table is a weighted average of all the isotopes. You get the exact mass of an isotope by adding the protons(atomic number) to the number of neutrons in that isotope.

The number of nucleons in the nucleus is the atom's mass number, that being said, each isotope of a given element has a different mass number. so there isn't one single mass number for an isotope.

List and explain the four most important factors that control the relative reactivity of a carbonyl-containing functional group

ioda

Resonance, leaving group, carbonyl carbon delta+, and steric effect is the most crucial variables that affect the relative reactivity of a functional group containing a carbonyl in an addition or substitution process.

Discussion:

1. Carbonyl Carbon Delta+: The carbonyl group becomes more electrophilic and accelerates nucleophilic assault when the carbonyl carbon delta+ is bigger.

2. Resonance: When the carbonyl is transformed into the tetrahedral adduct, it may be lost. Loss of resonance increases the energy of the transition state for this nucleophilic assault because resonance has the function of stabilizing. Therefore, a carbonyl functional group's resistance to nucleophilic attack increases as resonance in the group increases in importance.

3. Leaving group: Tetrahedral adduct fragmentation is encouraged by a better LG.

4. Steric effects: The nucleophilic attack on carbonyl carbon is delayed when sterically impeded.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g

Serga [27]

Answer: The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For FeO:

Given mass of FeO = 125 g

Molar mass of FeO = 71.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of FeO}=\frac{125g}{71.8g/mol}=1.74mol$

For aluminium:

Given mass of aluminium = 25.0 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.93mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3FeO+2Al\rightarrow 3Fe+Al_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 mole of FeO

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395mol$ of FeO

As, given amount of FeO is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal produces 3 mole of iron metal

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will produce = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395moles$ of iron metal

Now, calculating the mass of iron metal from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Moles of iron = 1.395 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.395mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{55.85g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron}=(1.395mol\times 55.85g/mol)=77.6g$

Hence, the mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams
