Answer:
37S
Explanation:
Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.
We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.
In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.
23892U = 23490Th + 42He
Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.
147N + 42He = 178O + 11P
For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is
4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He
So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.
Heated, it shrinks when cooled
The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our
starting point.</span>
<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2
mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g
x 100</span>
Percent yield = 67.58%
aswer: protactinium-234 is more dang erous than uranium
