How do the isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-13 differ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Carbon exists in several isotopes. ... Carbon has the atomic number of 6 which means that all isotopes have the same proton number. However, the number of neutrons is different, thus giving different mass numbers. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, carbon-13 has 7 neutrons, and carbon-14 contains 8 neutrons.

If a wave has a wavelength of 13 meters and a period of 0.005, what's the velocity of the wave? A. 2,600 m/s B. 260 m/s C. 1,300
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

V = 2600ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength(λ) = 13meters

Period (T) = 0.005s

Period(T) is the time it takes for a full cycle of vibration to pass through. It's unit is in seconds (s)

The Velocity of waves is expressed as:

V = fλ

Where f = frequency(s⁻¹)

Frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit time

f = 1/T

Where T is the period

We can therefore express Velocity of waves as a function of period

V = λ/T

Inputing the parameters, we have:

V = 13m / 0.005s

V = 2600ms⁻¹

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.
LuckyWell [14K]

<u>The troposphere: </u>

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer. 

<u>The stratosphere:</u>

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface. 

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer. 

<u>The mesosphere:</u>

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it. 

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur. 

<u>The thermosphere :</u>

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere. 

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas. 

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depending on the Earth's  temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense  UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}

Under identical conditions, separate samples of O2 and an unknown gas were allowed to effuse through identical membranes simulta
scoray [572]

Answer:

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

Explanation:

Effusion is defined as rate of change of volume with respect to time.

Rate of Effusion=\frac{Volume}{Time}

Effusion rate of oxygen gas after time t = E=\frac{4.64 mL}{t}

Molar mass of oxygen gas = M = 32 g/mol

Effusion rate of unknown gas after time t = E'=\frac{3.12 mL}{t}

Molar mass of unknown gas = M'

The rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of effusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

\frac{E}{E'}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{M}}

\frac{\frac{4.64 mL}{t}}{\frac{3.12 mL}{t}}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{32 g/mol}}

M' = 70.77 g/mol

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.
