<u>Thorium series</u> could start by this sequence.

<h3>Brief explanation</h3>

To write balanced equations for nuclear decay processes. It's important to remember that the mass number and the atomic numbers must be balanced. And so what that means is that if we look at an elements nuclear symbol, the atomic number is the bottom number and the top number, the superscript, is the mass number, and so when we add them up on both sides, they have to be equal. There are two different ways in which decay can occur.

In this, series one is through beta decay, which means that the following particle is produced. The other is Alpha Decay, which produces this particle. Both are products. So if we start off with uranium to 39 you read it in nuclear notation, which means we have to find the atomic number just 92 and it undergoes beta decay.

So that means that it produces this particle find the second particle we used the atomic number, so 92 equals minus one plus x, where X equals 93 which is Neptune IAM. The mass number of our new isotope is zero plus X equals to 39 where X equals to 39. This product becomes the reactant in my next decay, which is also a beta decay. And to find the unknown element we do the same here.

Except for that it's 93 equals minus one plus x, where X is 94 which is P u plutonium, and the mass number is zero plus X equals to 39 or to 39. The next decay starts with the isotope that we just form to 39 p. U. This time it's an Alpha decay. So we produce this particle to find the unknown. Element 94 equals two plus x, where X equals 92 which takes us back to uranium.

Find the mass number of this isotope 2 39 equals four plus X, where X equals to 35. Finally, for the last decay, you have another Alpha decay starting with uranium to 35 making an alpha particle. The atomic number will be 90 which is T H and the top is 2 31 For the mass number. This begins the natural decay, series of thorium .

If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, how many n-terminus groups would be present?
Crank
If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, there would only be 1 N-terminus group that would be present. The N-terminus group is always the start of the chain of a amino acid chain or a protein or a polypeptide. It refers to the free amine group present that is located at the end part of the chain. So, that no matter how many amino acids in a chain there would always be only one N-terminus group.

Which chemical equation correctly represents the formation of water and carbon dioxide from the decomposition of carbonic acid i
defon

Carbonic acid's chemical formula is H2CO3.  Its decomposition to water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is represented by the equation:


H2CO3(g) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqeous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and liquid wat
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2SO4 = 5.9 grams

Mass of NaOH = 6.6 grams

Molar mass H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles H2SO4 = 5.9 grams / 98.08 g/mol

Moles H2SO4 = 0.060 moles

Moles NaOH = 6.6 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.165 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.060 moles). NaOH is in excess . There will react 2*0.060 = 0.120 moles

There will remain 0.165 - 0.120 = 0.045 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

For 0.0600 moles H2SO4 we'll have 2*0.0600 = 0.120 moles H2O

Step 6: Calculate mass H2O

Mass H2O = 0.120 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass H2O = 2.16 grams

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

A diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond is
Debora [2.8K]
The diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond is N2.
Nitrogen has five atoms in its valence shell. In order for it to attain the octet structure, that is, to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, it has to donate three electrons, just like the other element it is reacting with in order to form a triple covalent bond.
