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

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.

calculate the ph of a 0.020 m carbonic acid solution, h2co3(aq), that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1

fgiga [73]

The calculated pH is 3.79. therefore, the solution is acidic.

No, carbonic acid is not a strong acid. H2CO3 is a weak acid that dissociates into a proton (H+ cation) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3- anion). This compound only partly dissociates in aqueous solutions.

H2 CO3 = H (+) + HCO3(-) Ka1 = 4.3 * 10^ -7

0.06 - x x x

Ka1 = x^2 / (0.06 - x) = 4.3 * 10^ - 7

A low Ka => x << 0.06 => 0.06 -x ≈ 0.06

=> Ka1 ≈ x^2 / 0.06 => x^2 ≈ 0.06 * Ka1 = 0.06 * 4.3 * 10^-7

=> x ≈ √ [ 2.58 * 10 ^ -8] = 1.606 * 10^ - 4 = 0.0001606

Second dissociation

HCO3(-) = H (+) + CO3(2-) Ka2 = 5.6 * 10^ - 11

0.0001606 - y y y

Ka2 ≈ y^2 / 0.0001606 => y = √ [0.0001606 * 5.6* 10^ -11]

y = 9.48 * 10^ -8

An acidic solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H +start superscript, plus, end superscript), greater than that of pure water.

[H+] = x + y = 1.607 * 10^ -4

pH = - log [H+] = 3.79

IF ANSWER I WILL GIVE BRAINLESS

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Answer 9 - 100 joules energy was at the producer level

Answer 10 - Remaining energy is used in metabolism

Explanation:

Answer 9

The energy at each trophic level is only 10% of the energy at its previous trophic level.

The energy at producer level is X

$10$ % of $X = 10$ Joules

$\frac{10}{100} * X = 10\\X = 100$ Joules

Answer 10

Because the remaining 90% energy is utilized by the producer for its metabolism

What causes water to increase in density?

murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

temperature changes affect seawater density as water cools its density increases. As water cools H2O molecules pack more closely together because the molecules are vibrating less at low temperatures and take up less volume. The same number of water molecules in smaller volume results higher density
