Americium is a radioactive element .

  • It goes through alpha decay during nuclear reactions .

The nuclear reaction.is given by

\rm {}^{241}_{95}Am\longrightarrow {}^{237}_{93}Np+{}^4_2\alpha

  • Np stands for Nuptunium

Here alpha can be written as He too

A science student wants to use distillation to separate a mixture of two
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Boiling point

Explanation:

Distillation is one of the most widely used separation technique in chemistry. It is used to separate a mixture of liquid substances with different boiling point. Hence, the basis of the separation is BOILING POINT DIFFERENCE.

In the procedure, the liquid substances are heated until they turn gaseous, which they do at different times considering their different boiling points. The separated components are then converted back to liquid states in a process called CONDENSATION.

You have 16.7 grams of hydrogen and 15.4 grams of oxygen in a synthesis rxn. Which is the limiting reagent?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 16.7 g

Mass of oxygen = 15.4 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.7 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 8.35 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.4 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.48 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with product,

                 

                             H₂           :          H₂O

                              2            :            2

                             8.35        :            8.35

                             O₂           :          H₂O

                               1            :            2

                             0.48        :        2×0.48 = 0.96 mol

The number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so it will limiting reactant.

a solution of KCl in water has a concentration of 0.243 M. The solution has a volume of 0.580 L. How many grams of KCl are prese
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

10.5 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Molar concentration of the solution (C): 0.243 M
  • Volume of solution (V): 0.580 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute (n)

Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

M = n/V

n = M × V

n = 0.243 mol/L × 0.580 L = 0.141 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.141 moles of KCl

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.

0.141 mol × 74.55 g/mol = 10.5 g

Cobalt-63 has a half-life of 5.3 years. If a pellet that has been in storage for 15.9 years contains 40.0g of Cobalt-63, how muc
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

320 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

  No. of               Fraction         Mass

half-lives   t/yr   Remaining   Remaining/g

      0        0              1

      1         5.3           ½

     2        10.6           ¼

     3        15.9           ⅛                 40.0

     4        21.2           ¹/₁₆

We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.

This is one-eighth of the original mass.

The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g
