Explain why isotopes of the same element behave differently in nuclear reactions but not in chemical reactions

2 answers:

5 0

Here are some different options of things you can expand upon in your response:

Isotopes of the same element differ only in neutron numbers.

Nuclear reactions involve changes to the protons or neutrons in an atom’s nucleus, but not changes to its electrons.

Chemical reactions involve changes to the electrons in atoms, but not changes to its protons or neutrons.

Isotope behavior only differs when a reaction involves neutrons.

The nuclear core additionally contains neutrons. In customary concoction responses, neutron number does not make a difference. This is on the grounds that substance responses include just electrons. Be that as it may, in atomic responses, distinctive isotopes of a similar component can carry on in an unexpected way.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6

JulijaS [17]

Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.
2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)C = 0.5478 J / g °C

During an exothermic reaction, ΔH for the reactants was 890 kJ/mol. Which of the following statements is correct about the ΔH fo

kaheart [24]

Answer:-A. It is less than 890 kJ/mol because the amount of energy required to break bonds is less than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

In the formation of new bonds more energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is released.

In the formation of bonds less energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is absorbed.

Suppose that 0.323 g of an unknown sulfate salt is dissolved in 50 mL of water. The solution is acidified with 6M HCl, heated, a

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1) 41.16 % = 0.182 grams

2) The alkali cation is K+ , to form the salt K2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of unknown sulfate salt = 0.323 grams

Volume of water = 50 mL

Molarity of HCl = 6M

Step 2: The balanced equation

SO4^2- + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2Cl-

Step 3: Calculate amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4

The precipitate will be BaSO4

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (Molar mass of SO4^2-/Molar mass BaSO4)*100 %

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (96.06 /233.38) * 100

= 41.16%

So in 0.443g of BaSO4 there will be 0.443 * 41.16 % = <u>0.182 grams</u>

<u />

2. If it is assumed that the salt is an alkali sulfate determine the identity of the alkali cation.

The unknown sulphate salt has 0.182g of sulphate. This means the alkali cation has a weight of 0.323-0.182 = 0.141g grams

An alkali cation has a chargoe of +1; sulphate has a charge of -2

The formula will be X2SO4 (with X = the unknown alkali metal).

Calculate moles of sulphate

Moles sulphate = 0.182 grams (32.1 + 4*16)

Moles sulphate = 0.00189 moles

The moles of sulphate = 0.182/(32.1+16*4)

The moles of sulphate = 0.00189 moles

X2SO4 → 2X+ + SO4^2-

For 2 moles cation we have 1 mol anion

For 0.00189 moles anion, we have 2*0.00189 = 0.00378 moles cation

Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 0.141 grams / 0.00378 grams

Molar mass = 37.3 g/mol

The closest alkali metal is potassium. (K2SO4 )
