Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

Answer:

Isotopes are one of two or more forms of the same chemical element.

Explanation:

Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number,but a different number of neutrons giving each element isotope of a different atomic weight.

Which of the following best accounts for the difference in mutagenic activity between PAHs and PAHs plus liver preparation?

guapka [62]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Some poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are not carcinogenic in themselves. However, when these are made to interact with living cells, enzymes in the cells could convert the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon into a carcinogenic material such as benzo-[a]-pyrene. This can now interact adversely with the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells leading to genetic mutation, that is, irreversible changes in the genes of organisms.

Answer:

Explanation:

2C6H6 + 9O2 -> 12CO2 + 6H20

Weight of a CO2 Mol 12+ 16x2 = 44g

In 100g number of moles = 100/44= 2.2727 Moles

Number of C6H6 2moles burned when creating 12 moles of CO2

Therefore 2.2727/12 x 2 = 0.3787

3H2SO4 + 2Al(OH)3 -> Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O

H2O weight of a 1mol is = 2+16 = 18g

2moles of Al(OH)3 cerates 6 moles of water.

3moles of sulfuric creates 6 moles of water.

5.5moles Al(OH)3 reacts with 5.5 moles of sulfuric

Therefore number of water moles = 5.5/3 x 6 = 11moles

Weight water = 11 x 18 = 198g

Cu + 2AgNO3 -> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

1mol of Cu produces 2moles of silver

Ag = 107.86 g/Mol

Cu = 63.54 g/Mol

In 26g Ag number of moles = (26/107.86)/2 x 63.54 = 7.658g

3K2CrO4 + 2AlPO4 -> 2K3PO4 + Al2(CrO4)3

K2CrO4 = 39x2 + 52 + 16x4 = 194g/Mol

Al2(CrO4)3 = 54 + 354 = 408g/Mol

3moles of K2CrO4 creates 1mol of Al2(CrO4)3

Therefore weight of the Al2(CrO4)3 produced by 17.5g potassium chromate

(17.5/194)/3 moles of Al2(CrO4)3 produced = 0.03moles

Al2(CrO4)3 produced = 0.03 x 408 = 12.26g
