Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0110s−1 at an initial temperature of 21 ∘C , what would the rate constant be at a temp
gulaghasi [49]

The rate constant is mathematically given as

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

<h3>What is the Arrhenius equation?</h3>

The rate constant for a particular reaction may be calculated with the use of the Arrhenius equation. This constant can be stated in terms of two distinct temperatures, T1 and T2, as follows:

ln(\frac{K2}{K1})= (\frac{Ea}{R})*(\frac{1}{T1}-\frac{1}{T2})

Therefore

KT1= 0.0110^{-1}

T1= 21+273.15

T1= 294.15K

T2= 200  

T2=200+273.15

T2= 473.15K

Ea= 35.5 Kj/Mol

Hence, in  j/mol R Ea is

Ea=35.5*1000 j/mol R

ln(\frac{K2}{0.0110})= (\frac{35.5*1000}{8.314})*(\frac{1}{294.15}-\frac{1}{473.15}\\\\ln(\frac{K2}{0.0110})=5.492

K2/0.0110 =e^(5.492)

K2/0.0110 =242.74

K2= 242.74*0.0110

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

In conclusion, rate constant

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

Put the following in the correct chronological order from what happened first to what happened last.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

2-3-1-4

Explanation:

The astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did not have a theory about the Earth revolving around the sun until he got into astronomy and began to study the patterns of the sun and the moon as well as reading other entries from previous astronomers. You can pretty much guess from there, he had to have the theory before proving it etc.
