Answer:

Explanation:

This is an isotope of carbon, more specifically, carbon-14. Carbon 14 has 6 protons, making the element carbon, and eight neutrons since 14-6 = 8.

A liquid solvent is added to a flask containing an insoluble solid. The total volume of the solid and liquid together is 80.0 mL

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

111.44 g

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the volume of the solvent. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solvent = 21 g

Density of solvent = 0.865 g/mL.

Volume of solvent =?

Density = mass /volume

0.865 = 21 /volume of solvent

Cross multiply

0.865 × volume of solvent = 21

Divide both side by 0.865

Volume of solvent = 21 / 0.865

Volume of solvent = 24.28 mL

Next, we shall determine the volume of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of solvent + solid = 80.0 mL.

Volume of solvent = 24.28 mL

Volume of solid =?

Volume of solid = (Volume of solvent + solid) – (Volume of solvent)

Volume of solid = 80 – 24.28

Volume of solid = 55.72 mL

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Density of solid = 2.00 g/mL.

Volume of solid = 55.72 mL

Mass of solid =.?

Density = mass / volume

2 = mass of solid / 55.72

Cross multiply

Mass of solid = 2 × 55.72

Mass of solid = 111.44 g

Therefore, the mass of the solid is 111.44 g

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$
