The mercury inside the thermometer is a pure substance hope this helps :)
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.
The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
Answer:
The equivalent weight of M is approximately 31.8 g
The equivalent weight of N is approximately 27.98 g
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The percentage of the the metal M in in the chloride = 47.25%
Where by the chemical formula for the metal chloride is MClₓ, we have;
47.25% of the mass of MClₓ = Mass of M = W
Therefore, we have;

0.4725 × (W + 35.5·x) = W
0.4725·W + 0.4725×35.5×x = W
W - 0.4725·W = 16.77·x
0.5275·W = 16.77·x
W/x = 16.77/0.5275 = 31.799 = The equivalent weight of M
The equivalent weight of M = 31.799 ≈ 31.8 g
Given that 1 gram of M is displaced by 0.88 gram of N, then the equivalent weight of N that will displace 31.799 = 0.88 × 31.799 ≈ 27.98 g
The equivalent weight of N = 27.98 g.
The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is
2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles 12 24
Reacted moles 12 18
Final moles - 6 12 24
The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
= 12 mol x 3 / 2
= 18 mol
All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.
Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH.
Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol
