Why can’t you split an element in half?

Chemistry

1 answer:

dedylja [7]2 years ago

Answer:

It depends on the atom, or more specifically, on the size of its nucleus. There is a competition between the electrical repulsion of the protons (that drives the nucleus apart) and the attraction of the protons and neutrons (due to chromodynamics). For nuclei above a certain size, the repulsion tends to win

If the volume occupied by the gas molecules shown below were doubled, what would happen to the pressure they exert? (Assume cons

AnnZ [28]

there's no picture here but I guess the answer would be:

considering the constant temperature, if you double the volume, the pressure would be halved.

like: volume is 2, pressure is 4

if 2×2, then:4÷2

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?

galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) and Kp=0.174 at 243°C. Calculate the value of Kc for

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The Kc of this reaction is 311.97

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kp = 0.174

Temperature = 243 °C

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate Kc

Kp = Kc *(RT)^Δn

⇒ with Kp = 0.174

⇒ with Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 Latm/Kmol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 243 °C = 516 K

⇒ with Δn = number of moles products - moles reactants 2 – (1 + 3) = -2

0.174 = Kc (0.08206*516)^-2

Kc = 311.97

The Kc of this reaction is 311.97

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

bazaltina [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$ ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $0.077s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

$[A]=0.0055M$

$k=0.077s^{-1}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s$

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds
