Chapter 1, Problem 1.1P

While the most common isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 14 (nitrogen- 14 ), a radioactive isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 13 (nitrogen- 13 ). Nitrogen- 13 is used in PET (positron emission tomography) scans by physicians to monitor brain activity and diagnose dementia. For each isotope, give the following information: (a) the number of protons; (b) the number of neutrons; (c) the number of electrons in the neutral atom; and (d) the group number.

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The number of protons in nitrogen-13 and nitrogen-14 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Isotopes of a particular element have different number of neutrons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a neutral atom, number of protons in a nucleus is equal to the number of electrons.

Answer to Problem 1.1P

The number of protons in nitrogen-13 isotope is 7. The number of protons in nitrogen-14 isotope is 7.

Explanation of Solution

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Hence, the number of protons in nitrogen-13 isotope is 7 and nitrogen-14 isotope is 7.

Conclusion

The number of protons in nitrogen-13 isotope is 7. The number of protons in nitrogen-14 isotope is 7.

(b)

Interpretation: The number of protons in nitrogen-13 and nitrogen-14 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Isotopes of a particular element have different number of neutrons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a neutral atom, number of protons in a nucleus is equal to the number of electrons.

Answer to Problem 1.1P

The number of neutrons in nitrogen-13 is 6 and the number of neutrons is nitrogen-14 is 7.

Explanation of Solution

Number of neutrons is calculated by the formula,

Massnumber=Number ofprotons+Number ofneutrons

The number of protons in nitrogen-13 isotope is 7.

Substitute the value of number of protons in nitrogen-13 and mass number in the above formula.

13=7+Number ofneutronsNumber ofneutrons=137=6

Hence, the number of neutrons is nitrogen-13 is 6.

The number of protons in nitrogen-14 isotope is 7.

Substitute the value of number of protons and mass number in the above formula.

14=7+NumberofneutronsNumber ofneutrons=147=7

Hence, the number of neutrons is nitrogen-14 is 7.

Conclusion

The number of neutrons in nitrogen-13 is 6 and the number of neutrons is nitrogen-14 is 7.

(c)

Interpretation: The number of electrons in the neutral atom is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Isotopes of a particular element have different number of neutrons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a neutral atom, number of protons in a nucleus is equal to the number of electrons.

Answer to Problem 1.1P

The number of electrons in the neutral atom is 7.

Explanation of Solution

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7. The number of protons in nitrogen-13 isotope is 7 and nitrogen-14 isotope is 7. Number of protons is equal to number of electrons in neutral atom. Hence, the number of electrons in the neutral atom is 7.

Conclusion

The number of electrons in neutral atom is 7.

(d)

Interpretation: The group number of Nitrogen atom is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: Isotopes of a particular element have different number of neutrons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a neutral atom, number of protons in a nucleus is equal to the number of electrons.

Answer to Problem 1.1P

The group number of Nitrogen atom is 5A.

Explanation of Solution

In the periodic table of elements, each column is identified by a group number, Arabic 1to8 or Roman (ItoVIII) numeral followed by the letter A or B. The group number of nitrogen atom is 5A.

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO(g) +Cl₂ (g) = 2NOC1 (g) AGº = -41. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 8.90 atm of chlorine (C12) and 5.71 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOC1) at 1075. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCI tend to rise or fall? x10 fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO? In other words, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO? yes no If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. atm ☑ 18 Ar
Identifying the major species in weak acid or weak base equilibria The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the major species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself. Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row. You will find it useful to keep in mind that HCN is a weak acid. acids: 0.29 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a 1.2M HCN solution. bases: ☑ other: 0.09 mol of HCl is added to acids: 1.0 L of a solution that is bases: 0.3M in both HCN and KCN. other: 0,0,... ? 00. 18 Ar 日
