What is an atom that has the same number of protons as other atoms of the same element, but has a different number of neutrons?

Chemistry

Answer:

isotopes

Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Because the number of neutrons can vary for a given element, the mass numbers of different atoms of an element may also vary. For example, some helium atoms have three neutrons instead of two (these are called isotopes and are discussed in detail later on)

Calculate the mole fraction of each component in a solution with 6.87 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in 65.2 g of water.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

mole fraction of NaCl = 0.03145.

mole fraction of water = 0.9686.

Explanation:

  • Mole fraction is an expression of the concentration of a solution or mixture.
  • It is equal to the moles of one component divided by the total moles in the solution or mixture.
  • The summation of mole fraction of all mixture components = 1.

mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles).

<em>no. of moles of NaCl = mass/molar mass </em>= (6.87 g)/(58.44 g/mol) = 0.1176 mol.

<em>no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass</em> = (65.2 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = <em>3.622 mol.</em>

<em></em>

∴ mole fraction of NaCl = (no. of moles of NaCl) / (total no. of moles) = (0.1176 mol)/(0.1176 mol + 3.622 mol) = 0.03145.

<em>∵ mole fraction of NaCl + mole fraction of water = 1.0.</em>

∴ mole fraction of water = 1.0 - mole fraction of NaCl = 1.0 - 0.03145 = 0.9686.

A patient needs 0.024 g of a sulfa drug. There are 12-mg tablets in stock. How many tablets should be given?
emmainna [20.7K]
I would personally convert the 12 mg to g so I could see what I was working with. So 12 mg to grams is 0.012 g...

so 1 tablet is 0.012g. the patient needs 0.024 g. 

so 0.024g/0.012g = 2 tablets or 0.012g X 2 is 0.024 g

hope this helps :)

Flauer [41]
The correct answer is C. Colligative properties only depend upon the number of solute particles in a solution but not on the identity or nature of the solute and solvent particles. I hope this anwers your question.
