Explain why elements with less protons require fewer neutrons to be stable compared to elements with more protons.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The reason for this is because of the repulsive force between protons: The stronger the repulsion force, the more neutrons are needed to stabilize the nuclei.

What is not represented by a balanced chemical equation?
astraxan [27]

Answer is: 4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation.

For example, balanced chemical reaction:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.

1) The same number of atoms is on each side of the equation: two magnesium atoms and two oxgen atoms.

2) The formulas for all substances are correct: in magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium has oxidation number +2 and oxygen -2, so formula is good, because compound must be neutral.

3) The same mass is represented on each side of the equation: because there is same number of atoms, the mass is the same.

4) The same subscripts are on each side of the equation: oxygen does not have same subscripts.

You have 500.0 ml of a buffer solution containing 0.30 m acetic acid (ch3cooh) and 0.20 m sodium acetate (ch3coona). what will t
Nataly [62]
First, we should get moles acetic acid = molarity * volume

                                                                =0.3 M * 0.5 L

                                                                =  0.15 mol

then, we should get moles acetate = molarity * volume

                                                           = 0.2 M * 0.5L

                                                           = 0.1 mol

then, we have to get moles of OH- which added:

moles OH- = molarity  * volume

                   = 1 M    * 0.02L

                  = 0.02 mol

when the reaction equation is:


                 CH3COOH  +  OH-  → CH3COO-   +  H2O


moles acetic acid after adding OH- = (0.15-0.02) 
                                             
                                                            =  0.13M                                       

moles acetate after adding OH- =  (0.1 + 0.02)

                                                      =   0.12 M

Total volume = 0.5 L + 0.02 L= 0.52 L

∴[acetic acid] = moles acetic acid after adding OH- / total volume

                        = 0.13mol / 0.52L

                       = 0.25 M

and [acetate ) = 0.12 mol / 0.52L
 
                        = 0.23 M

by using H-H equation we can get PH:

PH = Pka + ㏒[salt/acid]

when we have Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5

∴Pka = -㏒Ka 

        = -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5

       = 4.7

So by substitution:

∴ PH = 4.7 + ㏒[acetate/acetic acid]

         = 4.7 + ㏒(0.23/0.25)

        = 4.66
