An isotope of an element is having a different number of neutrons ex C12, C14...

In other words, they would have the same # of proton but different number of neutrons. So to determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom, you need to subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass

For sure the answer is D

Answer: it is c

Explanation:

Islands can also be formed when continental plates collide. When they collide they push land up creating an underwater mountain that goes above land. This land, when surrounded by water, is called an island. Another way an island land form can be made is through deposits of sand that came from erosion. have a great day! :3

Which one of the following pairs of acids and conjugate bases is incorrectly labeled or incorrectly matched? Acid Conjugate Base
vekshin1

Answer : The incorrect option is, (d) NH_4^+/NH_2^-

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Or we can say that, conjugate acid is proton donor and conjugate base is proton acceptor.

(a) The equilibrium reaction will be,

HF+H_2O\rightleftharpoons F^-+H_3O^+

In this reaction, HF is an acid that donate a proton or hydrogen to H_2O base and it forms F^- and H_3O^+ are conjugate base and acid respectively.

In this reaction, HF/F^- are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(b) The equilibrium reaction will be,

HClO+H_2O\rightleftharpoons ClO^-+H_3O^+

In this reaction, HClO is an acid that donate a proton or hydrogen to H_2O base and it forms ClO^- and H_3O^+ are conjugate base and acid respectively.

In this reaction, HClO/ClO^- are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(c) The equilibrium reaction will be,

H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons OH^-+H_3O^+

In this reaction, H_2O is an acid that donate a proton or hydrogen to

In this reaction, H_2O/OH^- are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(d) The equilibrium reaction will be,

NH_4^++H_2O\rightleftharpoons NH_3+H_3O^+

In this reaction, NH_4^+ is an acid that donate a proton or hydrogen to H_2O base and it forms NH_3 and H_3O^+ are conjugate base and acid respectively.

In this reaction, NH_4^+/NH_3 are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(e) The equilibrium reaction will be,

H_3O^++H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_2O+H_3O^+

In this reaction, H_3O^+ is an acid that donate a proton or hydrogen to H_2O base and it forms

In this reaction, H_3O^+/H_2O are act as a conjugate acid-base.

From this we conclude that that, NH_4^+/NH_2^- pairs of acids and conjugate bases is incorrectly labeled or incorrectly matched.

Hence, the incorrect option is, (d) NH_4^+/NH_2^-

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the following reaction: Co2+ (aq) + Zn(s> CO (s) + Zn2+ (aq)
Simora [160]

<u>Answer:</u> The K_{eq} of the reaction is 1.73\times 10^{16}

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given half reactions:

Oxidation half reaction: Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V

Reduction half reaction: Co^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Co(s);E^o_{Co^{2+}/Co}=-0.28V

Net reaction: Zn(s)+Co^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Co(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.76)=0.48V

To calculate equilibrium constant, we use the relation between Gibbs free energy, which is:

\Delta G^o=-nfE^o_{cell}

and,

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}

Equating these two equations, we get:

nfE^o_{cell}=RT\ln K_{eq}

where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.48 V

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T = temperature of the reaction = 25^oC=[273+25]=298K

K_{eq} = equilibrium constant of the reaction = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times 96500\times 0.48=8.314\times 298\times \ln K_{eq}\\\\K_{eq}=1.73\times 10^{16}

Hence, the K_{eq} of the reaction is 1.73\times 10^{16}
