Answer:
The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:
- <u>option D: Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>
Explanation:
The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.
You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.
Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope
Sample Chemical symbol Element atomic number # of protons
A Pa-238 Pa protactinium 91 91
B U-240 U uranium 92 92
C Np-238 Np neptunium 93 93
D Pu-239 Pu plutonium 94 94
Answer:
The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive
Explanation:
Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.
Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.
Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
Answer:
D. [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant expression for a reaction is products over reactants. Since NO₂ has a coefficient of 2, it will become an exponent.
So, it would be:
[NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]
Hope that helps.
According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.
The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.
Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}
rearranging,
y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3
Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.
