Explanation:

californium is a synthetic radioactive element found on the bottom row of the periodic table, along with other actinides.

It was first discovered in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley by bombarding curium with alpha particles (helium nuclei). Pure californium metal has a silvery-white appearance and is soft enough to be easily cut with razor blade.

In initial experiments with californium in its concentrated form began in 1958.

Since then, 20 isotopes of californium have been characterize, with mass numbers ranging from 237 to 256. One of these isotopes is californium-252, which was first isolated from a neutron-irradiated sample of plutonium-239. As an exclusively synthetically made element (it cannot be found in nature),

californium-252 is very rare an is produced via neutron bombardment in high flux isotope reactor or particle accelerators.

On this,page we walk through some of the properties and uses of his unique isotope and provide additional resources for your reference.

Hope this helps! :)

Which of the following is true of the mass of an object?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Its mass is measured on a scale.

It is measured on a balance.

Explanation:

The mass of an object can easily be determined using a balance or weighing scale.

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance. it is has the same value every where and will not vary by geography or location.

Weight is the force on body due to gravity. It is a function of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Both mass and weight are different.

They can both be measured using a weight device.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the [H3O+] and the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.26 M HNO2 and 0.89 M KNO2? (K, of HNO2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$ and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

$K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}$

Concentration of $HNO_2$ (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of $KNO_2$ (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})$

$pK_a=4-\log (7.1)$

$pK_a=3.15$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})$

$pH=2.95$

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the $H_3O^+$ ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

Calculate the mass ratio of S to O in SO, and then calculate the mass ratio of S to O in SO2, given that the mass of S is approx

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,

mass ratio of S to O in SO:

mass of S : mass of O

= 32 : 16

= 32/16

= 2/1

mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= mass of S : 2 × mass of O

= 32 : 2 × 16

= 32/32

= 1/1

ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= 2/1 ÷ 1/1

= 2

Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.
