Why do nuclear reactions take place

Chemistry
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nuclear reaction occurs when an elementary particle or another nucleus has enough energy to disturb internal structure of a bombarded nucleus to such a level that it undergoes a transition to a different state.

What is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugati
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Br- Withdraws electrons inductively

       Donates electrons by resonance

CH2CH3 - Donates electrons by hyperconjugation

NHCH3- Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

OCH3 -  Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

+N(CH3)3 - Withdraws electrons inductively

                   

Explanation:

A chemical moiety may withdraw or donate electrons by resonance or inductive effect.

Halogens are electronegative elements hence they withdraw electrons by inductive effect. However, they also contain lone pairs so the can donate electrons by resonance.

Alkyl groups donate electrons by hyperconjugation involving hydrogen atoms.

-NHCH3  and contain species that have lone pair of electrons which can be donated by resonance. Also, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are very electron withdrawing making the carbon atom to have a -I inductive effect.

+N(CH3)3 have no lone pair and is strongly electron withdrawing by inductive effects.

What we call "tin cans" are really iron cans coated with a thin layer of tin. The anode is a bar of tin and the cathode is the i
UNO [17]

Answer:

Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)

The net equation is then:

Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-

Actual cathode half-equation:

Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)

Actual net reaction:

Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)
