Boron occurs naturally as two isotopes. What is the difference between these isotopes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]2 years ago
8 0

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.

How many joules of energy are required to melt 423g of water at 0°C?
Mkey [24]

The amount of heat needed to melt 423 g of water at 0°C is 141282 J

The heat required to melt water can be obtained by using the following formula:

<h3>Q = mL </h3>

Q is the heat required.

L is the latent heat of fusion (334 J/g)

m is the mass.

With the above formula, we can obtain the heat required to melt the water as illustrated below:

Mass of water (m) = 423 g

Latent heat of fusion (L) = 334 J/g

<h3>Heat (Q) required =? </h3>

Q = mL

Q = 423 × 334

<h3>Q = 141282 J</h3>

Therefore, the amount of heat needed to melt 423 g of water at 0°C is 141282 J

Why does the dilution equation, M 1 V 1 = M 2 V 2, work?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

d) The dilution equation works because the number of moles remains the same.

Explanation:

Let’s say that you have 1 mol of a solute in I L of solution. The concentration is 1 mol·L⁻¹. and <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ = 1 mol.

Now, you dilute the solution to a volume of 2 L. You still have 1 mol of solute, but in 2 L of solution. The new concentration is 0.5 mol·L⁻¹.

The volume has doubled, but the volume has halved, and <em>M</em>₂<em>V</em>₂ = 1 mol.

b) <em>Wrong</em>. The molar concentration changes on dilution.

c) <em>Wrong</em>. The volume changes on dilution.

a) <em>Wrong</em>, although technically correct, because if the moles don’t change, the mass doesn’t change either. However, the formula <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ has units mol·L⁻¹ × L = mol. Thus, in the formula, it is moles that are constant.
