Answer:

^{31}_{15}P is the isotopic notation of the atom

Explanation:

The isotope notation is:

^a_bX

<em>Where a is the mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons</em>

<em>b is atomic number = Number of protons</em>

The atomic number define the nature of the atom, the element with atomic number = 15 is phosphorus, P:

^a_bP

a = 15 protons + 16 neutrons = 31

b = 15

^{31}_{15}P is the isotopic notation of the atom.

Dalton assumed that all atoms of the same element were identical in all their properties. Explain why this assumption is not val
jeka57 [31]
This assumption is not valid because, there are some elements which exist in two or more forms;  they have the same atomic number but differ in their mass number, which meas that they possess different number of neutrons. These type of element are called isotopes. Isotope have the same atomic number  and similar physical and chemical properties but they have different number of neutrons and therefore possess different masses.

Which of these substances has the lowest pH? 0.5 M HBr, pOH = 13.5 0.05 M HCl, pOH = 12.7 0.005 M KOH, pOH = 2.3
vagabundo [1.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

0.5 M HBr, pOH = 13.5 ; Has the lowest pH

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the question;

pH = -Log [OH]

or pH = 14 - pOH

Therefore;

For 0.5 M HBr

[H+] = 0.5 M

pH = - Log [0.5]

     = 0.30

For;  pOH = 13.5

pH = 14 - pOH

     = 14 -13.5

     = 0.5

For; 0.05 M HCl

pH = - log [H+]

[H+] = 0.05

pH = - Log [0.05]

     = 1.30

For; pOH = 12.7

pH = 14 -pOH

     = 14 -12.7

     = 1.30

For;  0.005 M KOH,

pOH = - log [OH]

[OH-] = 0.005

pOH = - Log 0.005

        = 2.30

pH = 14 - 2.30

     = 11.7

For; pOH = 2.3

   pH = 14 -pOH

         = 14- 2.3

         = 11.7

Why should scientists perform experiments?
tia_tia [17]
Scientists observe the world around them, from which to draw questions. Their predictions as to the answer are what we call a “hypothesis”. Thus, a scientist’s job is to answer the very hypotheses that they and their piers come up with.

What is the maximum amount of silver (in grams that can be plated out of 4.7 l of an agno3 solution containing 3.2 % ag by mass?
Alex
The maximum amount of silver will be all of that contained in the solution.
Silver in solution:
Solution volume = 4,700 ml
Solution mass = 1.01 x 4,700
Solution mass = 5170 g

Amount of silver = 5,170 x 0.032
Amount of silver = 165.44 grams
