How do carbon-12 and carbon-13 differ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

They have different amounts of neutrons.

They have different mass numbers.

Explanation:

Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are two isotopes of the element carbon. The difference between carbon-12 and carbon-13 is the number of neutrons in each atom. Atoms of both isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons. Atoms of carbon-12 have 6 neutrons, while atoms of carbon-13 contain 7 neutrons. And because the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus then will be different too. Atoms of carbon-12 have the mass number equal to  12 a.m.u. while atoms of carbon-13  have the mass number equal to 13 a.m.u. .

a.m.u. - atomic mass units

For the following reaction, KP = 0.455 at 945°C: At equilibrium, is 1.78 atm. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of CH4 in
Alborosie

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, here's the missing part of the question:

<em>"For the following reaction, Kp = 0.455 at 945 °C: </em>

<em>C(s) + 2H2(g) <--> CH4(g). </em>

<em>At equilibrium the partial pressure of H2 is 1.78 atm. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of CH4(g)?"</em>

With these question, and knowing the value of equilibrium of this reaction we can calculate the partial pressure of CH4.

The expression of Kp for this reaction is:

Kp = PpCH4 / (PpH2)²

We know the value of Kp and pressure of hydrogen, so, let's solve for CH4:

PpCH4 = Kp * PpH2²

*: You should note that we don't use Carbon here, because it's solid, and solids and liquids do not contribute in the expression of equilibrium, mainly because their concentration is constant and near to 1.

Now solving for PpCH4:

PpCH4 = 0.455 * (1.78)²

<u><em>PpCH4 = 1.44 atm</em></u>

What is CO2 nomenclature
Yanka [14]
Are you looking for the definition or answer? Since nomenclature is just definition by name or giving a specific name; the overall answer should be Carbon Dioxide.

A chunk of ice breaks off a glacier and falls 30.0 m before it hits the water. Assuming it falls freely (there is no air resista
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.

Explanation:

Height from which ice chunk fell = h = 30.0 m

Initial velocity of the ice chunk = u = 0 m/s

Time taken by ice chunk to cover 30.0 m of height = t

Acceleration due to gravity = g 9.8m/s^2

Using second equation of motion ;

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

30.0 m=0 m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 m/s^2\times t^2

t=\sqrt{\frac{30.0m/s\times 2}{9.8 m/s^2}}2.47 s

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.
