TEA [102]2 years ago
3 0
Plutonium<span> is </span>made<span> from U-238. Pu-239 is normally </span>created<span> in nuclear reactors by transmutation of individual atoms of one of the isotopes of uranium present in the fuel rods. Occasionally, when an atom of U-238 is exposed to neutron radiation, its nucleus will capture a neutron, changing it to U-239.</span>

In the reaction ___h2+n2 -&gt;2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?
Nataly_w [17]
In order to balance this equation you need to count each element and how many of the individual elements are in the equation.
_H2+N2=2 NH3
You multiply the 2 (Which is the coefficient) by the 3 (which is the subscript) This would equal 6 which indicated there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side so the left side should also have 6 hydrogen atoms

The missing coefficient on the left side must multiple the 2 to become 6 hydrogen

What mass of CO was used up in the reaction with an excess of oxygen gas if 24.7g of carbon dioxide is formed? 2 CO + O2 &gt; 2
Zolol [24]
Balance Chemical Equation,
                                      2 CO  +  O₂   →   2CO₂
Acc. to this reaction,
88 g (2 mole) of CO₂ was produced when  =  56 g (2 mole)of CO was reacted
So, 
24.7 g of CO₂ will be produced by reacting =  X g of CO

Solving for X,
                                    X  =  (56 g × 24.7 g) ÷ 88 g

                                    X  =  2.26 g ÷ 88 g

                                    X  =  0.0257 g of CO

Result:           
            0.0257 g of CO is required to be reacted with excess of O₂ to produce 24.7 g of CO₂.

Question 11 point)
MrMuchimi

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) the moon takes the same time to rotate and revolve.</em></u>

Explanation:

Scientific experiments have concluded that it takes approximately 23 days for the moon to rotate and also it takes the same duration for the moon to revolve around the Earth. Due to this consistency, the moon appears to be still.

<em>Such synchronization results in the same face of the moon to be directed towards the Earth. Hence, the same craters of the moon will be observed by the scientist every day.</em>

<em></em>

Other options, like option D, is not correct because there will be craters on the other side of the moon too. But as we see the same side of the moon, hence we cannot see the craters present on the other side of the moon.
