With reference to He-4 (or the diagram), explain the term isotopes.

Chemistry
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Isotopes are basically atoms of an element that have an unequal number of neutrons and protons. Of course the proton number remains the same, but the neutron number either decreases or increases, which leads to an overall change in mass. However, no chemical properties of the atom/element are changed as the electrons are the same number and do not react. In regards to Helium 4, the original number of neutrons in Helium is 2, and protons 2 as well. We see an equal number of neutrons and protons, hence an unchanged mass, and the element is <em>not</em> an isotope.

Explain how sodium and calcium react with water. explain with equations

Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

What is the relation between concentration of reactants and the rate of chemical reaction?
Lynna [10]
Reaction rates can be increased if the concentration of reactants is raised. An increase in concentration produces more collisions. The chances of an effective collision goes up with the increase in concentration. The exact relationship between reaction rate and concentration depends on the reaction "mechanism".

An aqueous solution of glucose has molality of 6.81 and a density of 1.2 g/ml what is the molarity of glucose in the solution
andriy [413]

Answer:

the molarity is 3.68 moles/L

Explanation:

the molality of the solution of sucrose is

m= moles of glucose / Kg of solvent (water)= 6.81 ,

since the molecular weight of glucose is 180.156 gr/mole , then per each kilogram of solvent there is

6.81 moles*180.156 gr/mole + 1000 gr of water = 2226.86 gr of solution

from the density

volume of solution = mass of solution/density = 2286.86 gr / 1.2 gr/ml = 1855.71 ml

therefore there is 1000 gr of water in 1855.71 ml

then the molarity M is

M= moles of glucose / L of solution = (moles of glucose /  Kg of solvent) *  (Kg of solvent/L of solution) = 6.81 moles/Kg * 1Kg/1.85 L = 3.68 moles/L

M= 3.68 moles/L

Note:

- Would be wrong in this case to assume density of water = 1 Kg/L since the solution is heavily concentrated in glucose and therefore the density of water deviates from its pure value.
