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

Chemistry
1 answer:
boyakko [2]2 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.

What is the freezing point of a solution of 0.5 mol of LiBr in 500 mL of water? (Kf = 1.86°C/m) –1.86°C –7.44°C –5.58°C –3.72°C
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

  • Last choice: <em><u>- 3.72°C</u></em>

Explanation:

The freezing point depression in a solvent is a colligative property: it depends on the number of solute particles.

The equation to predict the freezing point depression in a solvent is:

  • ΔTf = Kf × m × i

Where,

  • ΔTf is the freezing point depression of the solvent,
  • m is the molality,
  • Kf is the cryoscopic molal constant of the solvent, and i is the Van'f Hoff factor, which is the number of ions produced by each unit formula of the ionic compound.

If the pressure of a gas is 1.01 atm and the temperature is 25°C, then if the pressure is increased to 1.10, what is the new tem
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

T2 = 51.6°C

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 1.01 atm

T1 = 25°C + 273 = 298K

P2 = 1.10 atm

T2 = ?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Solving for T2,

T2 = (P2/P1)T1

= (1.10 atm/1.01 atm)(298K)

= 324.6 K

= 51.6°C

where Tc = Tk - 273

A gas occupies 547 L at 331K. Find its volume at 376K. You must show all of your work to receive credit. Also, name the gas law
zysi [14]

621.4L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume = 547L

Initial temperature = 331K

Final temperature = 376K

Unknown:

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The appropriate gas law to use is the Charles's law.

The Charles's law shows the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas under constant pressure.

The law states that "The volume of a fixed of a gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant".

Mathematically;

    \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }  = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

 V₁ is the initial volume

 T₁ is the initial temperature

 V₂ is the final volume

 T₂ is the final temperature

Since the unknown is the final volume, we make it the subject of the expression;

   V₂ = \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }  x T_{2}  = \frac{547}{331 }  x 376

 V₂ =  621.4L
