Answer:

Number of neutrons and stability

Explanation:

An isotope of an element is basically the same element but with different number of neutrons. For example here, boron can exist in the forms of boron-10 and boron-11, and so the latter would have one more neutron than the former one.

Adding an extra neutron may or may not disrupt the strong force that much, and so the half-life and stability of the new isotope can be slightly different than its most stable one.

Hello summer roses~<br>help me with these questions

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The process of "slaking" of lime refers to the use of excess water for hydration. balanced equation: CaO + H₂0 = Ca(OH)₂ + heat released

First lets know which oxide is quick lime - CaO, is basic in nature as a result it combines with acidic oxides using heat. For example we are gonna make it react with silicon dioxide which is a very weak acid: CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃

A 1.25 × 10-4 m solution of the anti-inflammatory drug naproxen has a ph = 4.2. the ka and pka of naproxen are ________ and ____

Mandarinka [93]

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

Find the total number of atoms in a sample of cocaine hydrochloride, c17h22clno4, of mass 23.0 mg .

Nataliya [291]

From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of <span>c17h22clno4 = 17(12) + 22(1) + 35.5 + 14 + 4(16) = 339.5 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = (23*10^-3) / (339.5)
number of moles = 6.77 * 10^-5 moles

number of atoms = number of moles * Avogadro's number
number of atoms = 6.77*10^-5 * 6.022*10^-23
number of atoms = 4.079 * 10^-27 atoms</span>
