What isotope is used for a standard for other atomic masses?

sergeinik [125]

Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon with 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (Carbon-12) was given a mass of exactly 12.

Write the balanced standard combustion reaction for the c5h7on3s2

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Explanation:

When C5H7ON3S2 under go Combustion, the following are obtained as illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

There are 3 atoms of N on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of C5H7ON3S2 and 6 in front of N2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 20 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 20 in front of CO2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 28 atoms on H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 14 in front of H2O as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 8 atoms of S on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of S2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, there are a total of 54 atoms of O on the right side and 6 atoms on the left side

It can be balance by putting 25 in front of O2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.

26 grams of 2,2 dimethyl hexane( C8H16) under goes combustion. How

sattari [20]

Answer: The $CO_{2}$ gas occupies a space of 5.57 L at 26 Celsius and 101.75 kPa.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 26 g

Pressure = 101.75 kPa

Convert kPa into atm as follows.

$1 kPa = 0.00986923 atm\\101.75 kPa = 101.75 kPa \times \frac{0.00986923 atm}{1 kPa}\\= 1 atm$

Temperature = $26^{o}C = (26 + 273) K = 299 K$

Now, moles of a substance is defined as mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

As molar mass of 2,2 dimethyl hexane is 114.23 g/mol. So, its number of moles are calculated as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{26}{114.23 g/mol}\\= 0.227 mol$

Formula used to calculate the volume is as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$PV = nRT\\1 atm \times V = 0.227 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 299 K\\V = 5.57 L$

Thus, we can conclude that the $CO_{2}$ gas occupies a space of 5.57 L at 26 Celsius and 101.75 kPa.

Why do hydrogen atoms accompany electrons as they are transferred in biological systems?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hydrogen atoms accompany electrons as they are transferred in biological systems in order to ensure that the metabolism proceeds to completion.
This is considered the main purpose of the electron shuttles.
