Answer: the atoms of those isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons), making them belong to the same ele- ment, but they have different mass numbers (total number of protons and neutrons) giving them differ- ent atomic masses.

Answer:

Three atoms of magnesium can have different masses because each of the three atoms has a different number of neurons.

I hope this helped :)

What effect does rapid exhalation of CO2 during exercise have on the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood?
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.During the process of breathing, humans convert sugar into energy. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of this process. Carbon dioxide is released into the blood, travels to the lungs and is exhaled. Because carbon dioxide is a weak acid, the more carbon dioxide in the blood, the more acidic the blood becomes.</span>

Answer:

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Explanation:

Step 1: Balance the equation

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + CO2 + H20

For 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed, there is produced 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O.

Step 2: calculating moles of CO2

mass of Co2 = 20.5g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mole

moles of CO2 = 20.5 / 44.01 = 0.4658 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of NaHCO3

Since we have for 1 mole CO2 produced, there is 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed.

To calculate number of moles of NaHCO3, we have to multiply the number of moles of CO2, by 2.

⇒ 0.4658 x2 = 0.9316 moles

Step 4: Calculating the mass of NaHCO3

mass of NaHCO3 = moles of NaHCO3 x Molar mass of NaHCO3

mass = 0.9316 moles x 84g/ mole = 78.25g NaHCO3

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

How many covalent bonds does oxygen form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond?
ICE Princess25 [194]
The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.
