Answer:
The chemist can either:
a. Use a small fractionation apparatus.
b. Add a compound with a much higher boiling point.
Explanation:
Using a smaller fractionation apparatus or Vigreux column will help to minimize loss of the distillate.
If a compound with a higher boiling point is added, the vapors of this liquid will displace the vapors of this small amount of compound with a lower boiling point. This compound with a higher boiling point is known as a Chaser.
Answer:
its atomic number will be 3 and it's mass number will be 7. it is lithium
First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.
The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus.
</u>
The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,
<em>(see first attached picture)</em>
It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.
<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:
Z = 83
A = 83 + 125 = 208
Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:
<em>(see second attached picture)</em>
Frequency is represented by f in the formula v=fπ. Where π is wavelength , f is frequency and v is velocity. Frequency is the number of waves passing per unit time.
