When the equation Fe + Cl2 ----> FeCl3 is correctly balanced the coefficient for Cl2 is

Chemistry

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

The correct answer is D. Using the law of conservation of mass the number of atoms on each side of the equation should be equal. Through introspection, we find that there are 2Cl atoms on reactant side as opposed 3Cl atoms on product side. If we add a coefficient of 3 on Cl_2 we get

Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> FeCl_3.

Now there are 6Cl atoms on reactant side and 2 on product side, hence we add a coefficient of 2 on both FeCl_3 and Fe. The balanced chemical equation is,

2Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> 2FeCl_3

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br><br> 257/100 Fm= ________+4/2He
maria [59]

Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf

253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.

Explanation:

1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

2) Therefore:

i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.

2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.

3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.

4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:

₉₈²⁵³ Cf.

5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:

₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He

You can verify the mass balance:

257 = 253 + 4, and

100 = 98 + 2
