Balance the following nuclear reactions

Chemistry
1 answer:
icang [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1.) ⁴₂He

2.) ⁶₂He

3.) ²⁴²₉₄Pu

4.) ¹₀n

Explanation:

The superscript represents the mass number, which is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an element.

The subscript represents the atomic number, which is the total amount of protons in an element.

You can identify the element based on the atomic number. For instance, all atoms with a subscript/atomic number of 2 must always be helium (He). An element with an atomic number of 0 is represented by the symbol "n". The mass number and atomic numbers must be equal on both sides of the reaction.

1.) ¹₁H + ³₁H  → ⁴₂He

    -----> Mass Number: 1 + 3 = 4

    -----> Atomic Number: 1 + 1 = 2

2.) ⁹₄Be + ¹₁H → He + ⁶₂He

    -----> Standard helium (He) has a mass number of 4 and an atomic number of 2

    -----> Mass Number: 9 + 1 - 4 = 6

    -----> Atomic Number: 4 + 1 - 2 = 2

3.) ²³⁹₉₂U + ⁴₂He →  ²⁴²₉₄Pu + ¹₀n

    -----> Mass Number: 239 + 4 - 1 = 242

    -----> Atomic Number: 92 + 2 - 0 = 94

4.) ²⁷₁₃Al + ¹₀n → ²⁴₁₁Na + ⁴₂He

    -----> Mass Number: 24 + 4 - 27 = 1

    -----> Atomic Number: 11 + 2 - 13 = 0

kumpel [21]

Answer:

2NaClO₄ (aq) + Ni(NO₃)₂ (aq)  → 2NaNO₃ (aq) + Ni(ClO₄)₂ (aq)

No reaction

Explanation:

NaClO₄ → Sodium perchlorate

Ni(NO₃)₂ →  Nickel (II) nitrate

All the salts from nitrate are soluble salts

All the salts from perchlorate are soluble salts except for the KClO₄

Which energy transformation is represented in the diagram?
Paha777 [63]

A nuclear to thermal and radiant

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the disintegration of the force that holds the nucleus of the atom together, creating two different but lighter nuclei.

In nuclear fission, it seeks to break the force of attraction or nuclear force that joins the protons and neutrons that form the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons without electric charge are used against the nucleus of the atom to produce enough excitation energy to deform the nucleus into two halves.

Classify each of the following particulate level illustrations as a representation of either a pure substance, a homogeneous mix
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The classification and illustrations are attached in the drawing.

Explanation:

It is possible to identify the pure substance observing the figure, since it is the only one that has 2 joined atoms (purple and blue) which forms a single compound.

On the other hand, the homogeneous mixture is identified by noting that its atoms are more united with respect to the heterogeneous mixture, highlighting that in homogenous mixtures the atoms, elements or substances are not visible to the naked eye and are in a single phase, instead in the heterogeneous mixture if they can be differentiated.

Temperature cloud cover and thunder are all examples of
Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

Which substance would evaporate the fastest at room temperature? (Assume each substance has approximately the same molecular
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A non-polar liquid.

Explanation:

Whether a substance dissolves quickly or not depends on how strongly the molecules (or atoms of an element) of a substance are attracted to one another. These interactions between atoms and/or molecules are called intermolecular forces, or IMFs for short. There are several different ones, and these are distinguished from <em>intra</em>molecular forces which are the bonds holding atoms in the molecule together. Attached is a nice little summary of these forces to consider. Our decision lies within the fact that we must pick the substance that experiences the strongest IMF (the one with the most energy). As it turns out, a dipole in a molecule confers some charge distribution on the molecule which makes slightly positive and negative ends. These can attract each other, and it's called dipole-dipole interactions. It can technically happen in a mixture, but let's assume we're dealing with pure substances. Dipoles can only form in polar compounds however, so a non-polar liquid (which is composed of non-polar molecules), will lack these dipoles and therefore cannot form dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. This results in only having something called dispersion forces (which really every molecule attraction has - so this is the only one). It is very weak, and since the attraction between these molecules is weak, they will tend to come apart, and evaporate. You can think of the IMFs like glue, and a weak glue will not hold the molecules together well, and they will evaporate away.

On the other hand, polar (from dipole interactions) compounds can have general dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen-bonding interactions (which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction). H-bonding requires a Hydrogen bonded to either a Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine to do this. The main thing, is the non-polar ones don't have a dipole, and so they can't form a good intermolecular bond and evaporate quickly.

Water can H-bond, which is why it takes so long to dry and for it to evaporate in general. Nail polish, which is really a solution of acetone, has considerably weaker dipole-dipole bonds (compared to H-bonds), and evaporates quicker than water. Hope this helps!
