Balance the following nuclear reactions

Chemistry
1 answer:
icang [17]1 year 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

If 2.68 g of benzaldehyde are involved with the mixed aldol condensation reaction, how many moles of benzaldehyde are present? R
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles

Explanation:

The molecular formula of benzaldehyde is C₇H₆O

Its molecular mass is calculated from the atomic masses of the constituent atoms.

C = 12.0 g: H = 1.0 g; O = 16.0 g

Molecular mass = ( 12 * 7) + (1 * 6) + (16 * 1) = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of  substance = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance

mass of benzaldehyde = 2.68; molar mass = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of benzaldehyde = 2.68 g/ 106 g/mol = 0.0253 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles
