Answer:

The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.

Explanation:

From the question,

Container A contains 1000 atoms

Container B contains 500 atoms

<u>The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.</u>

The reason for such is due to the difference in the concentration of the isotopes. Container A which contains higher number of atoms will have the more changes of the release of the neutron as the changes of the hitting and splitting increases as the density of the atoms increases.

<u>Thus, the atoms in the container A will therefore decay faster than the atoms in the container B. </u>

In the preceding information section there is a "bohr's diagram" of an atom. Which atom is it?
dsp73
Bohr's atomic model may have not been the accurate atomic model we have in the present, but he helped paved the way for accurate discoveries. His model is also called the planetary model. The nucleus, containing the neutrons and protons are situated at the center of the atom. The electrons are orbiting around the nucleus. The model is illustrated as shown in the attached picture.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of liquid water H2O to aqueous hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in basic aqueous solution
nignag [31]

Answer : The balanced half-reaction in a basic solution will be,

2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)+2e^-  

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion (OH^-) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

  • The half reaction is :

H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)

  • Now balance the oxygen atoms.

H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

  • Now balance the hydrogen atoms.

H_2O(l)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

  • Now balance the charge.

H_2O(l)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)+H_2O(l)+2e^-

The balanced half-reaction in a basic solution will be,

2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2O_2(aq)+2e^-

Select all true statements about hybridization, of a second-row element, changing from sp2 to sp3. (max of 3 choices) a. The ato
Neko [114]

Answer:

a. The atom will go from a two-dimensional configuration to a three dimensional configuration.

d. The bond angle will increase.

f. The number of unhybridized p orbitals will decrease.

Explanation:

Sp2 is the atomic bond in which orbitals mixes with only two orbitals. These orbitals form three sp2. When two carbon atoms are overlapped they form sigma bond by overlapping of sp2 bonds. Sp3 bond is created when there is one lone molecule available for combination. When the bonding is updated from sp2 to sp3 then unhybridized orbitals will decrease causing the bond angle to increase.

Zircon is a mineral with the empirical formula ZrSiO4. If all the zirconium is 90Zr, all the silicon is 28Si, and all the oxygen
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

3.52g

Explanation:

Zr = 90 g/mol

Si = 28 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

ZrSiO4 = 90 + 28 + (16* 4) = 182g/mol

Mass =  Numberof moles * Molar mass

Mass = 1mol *  182g/mol = 182g

In one mole of ZrSiO4, there are 4 oxygen atoms, hence the mass is given as;

4 * 16 = 64g

Hence, 64g of oxygen is present in 182g of ZrSiO4.

10g would contain x

64 = 182

x = 10

x = ( 10 * 64 ) / 182

x = 640 / 182 = 3.52g

You evaporate all of the water from 100 mL of NaCl solution and obtain 11.3 grams of NaCl. What was the molarity of the NaCl sol
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

                      Molarity  =  1.93 mol.L⁻¹

Explanation:

             Molarity is the unit of concentration used to specify the amount of solute in given amount of solution. It is expressed as,

                         Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution    ----- (1)

Data Given;

                  Mass  =  11.3 g

                  Volume  =  100 mL  =  0.10 L

First calculate Moles for given mass as,

                   Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

                   Moles  =  11.3 g / 58.44 g.mol⁻¹

                   Moles  =  0.1933 mol

Now, putting value of Moles and Volume in eq. 1,

                        Molarity  =  0.1933 mol ÷ 0.10 L

                        Molarity  =  1.93 mol.L⁻¹
