Mass of water using isotopes? The water found on Earth is almost entirely made up of the ^1H and ^{16}O isotopes for a formula o

f H_2O and a molecular mass of 18.0 amu. What is the largest mass that a water molecule could have using other isotopes?

Answer : 24.032 amu

Explanation : The mass of water using isotopes can be found by replacing the hydrogen element with its isotope called tritium which has mass of 3.016 amu.

Tritium (T) contains one proton and two neutrons in it. When the water is replaced by tritium the mass of the water becomes as;

T_{2}O = {(3.016 x 2) + 18} = 24.032 amu.

whereas in H_{2}O = {(1 x 2) + 18} = 20 amu.

So, the mass of water will be highest when we replace, hydrogen by tritium as the isotope.

Rank the following elements by electron affinity 1) fluorine 2) selenium 3) arsenic 4) potassum 5) argon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon

Explanation:

Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.

The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.

Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.

Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.

Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.

What effect does a catalyst have on a system in equilibrium?
irina1246 [14]

A catalyst is when a chemical reaction occurs faster than normal.

The system is unaffected during a catalyst because both forward and reverse reactions are affected, meaning that quilibrium will occur faster nothing will change.


Hope it helped,
