Answer:

Photodisintegration!

Explanation:

also called Phototransmutation, in physics, nuclear reaction in which the absorption of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (a gamma-ray photon) causes the absorbing nucleus to change to another species by ejecting a subatomic particle, such as a proton, neutron, or alpha particle.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many moles of NO2 form when each amount of reactant completely reacts.

Anton [14]

Answer:- 2.4 mol $NO_2$ .

Solution:- It asks to calculate the moles of $NO_2$ formed when 1.2 moles of $N_2O_5$ are reacted.

There is 2:4 mol ratio between $N_2O_5$ and $NO_2$ . So, the moles of reactant are multiplied by the mol ratio to get the moles of $NO_2$ . The calculations are shown below:

$1.2mol N_2O_5(\frac{4mol NO_2}{2mol N_2O_5})$
