Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Transmutation involves the conversion of one chemical element into another chemical element. This change occurs when an element or isotope passes through a number of reactions. It is a natural process and happens when there is a radioactive decay.

Hence, it is also a nuclear change as it occurs when there is a change in the nucleus of an atom. As this change can be due to the nuclear decay so as a result there will be some change in energy also. It  is the process where one element converts into another using bombardment with high energy particles.

Thus, we can conclude that transmutation involves is a nuclear change.

is there a difference between a homogenouos mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, and a sample of vapor? explain?
marin [14]
Yes. In a homogeneous mixture the hydrogen and oxygen are not chemically combined; in water vapor, they are. You can separate a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen by physical means, such as by cooling the mixture until the oxygen liquefies. If you cool water vapor you're just going to get liquid water and then ice - not two separate substances. That's because compounds can only be separated into their elements by chemical means.

Which of the statements regarding alcohols and ethers are true? 1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 °C50 °C than is m
irina [24]

Answer:

Following statements are true:

1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 than is methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether).

Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves;ether molecules cannot

Explanation:

<u>1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 than is methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether). </u>

This is true

Propanol has a boiling temperature (this is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor) of 97-98 °C while methoxyethane a boiling point of 7.4 °C.

This means at 50 °C propanol is liquid but methoxyethane at 50°C is a gas.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more soluble in water than is 1-propanol.</u>

This false:

Propanol has a hydrogen bonding.  <u> </u>The OH on the alcohol can form a hydrogen bond (as a hydrogen acceptor and donor). Water can hydrogen bond. This means alcohol is will disolve in water. ( Remember Like dissolves like). So, when you have a molecule that can act as a donor and acceptor you end up with a much better interaction with water and end up with something that is more miscible. Ethers are only acceptors since they do not have a hydrogen attached to the oxygen. So, they can only accept a proton from water.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more likely to be a liquid at 50 °C50 °C than is 1-propanol</u>

This is false because propanol has a boiling temperature (this is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor) of 97-98 °C while methoxyethane a boiling point of 7.4 °C.

This means at 50 °C propanol is liquid but methoxyethane at 50°C is a gas.

<u>Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves;ether molecules cannot</u>

This is true because:

Ether molecules cannot form hydrogen bonding between themselves because the oxygen atom is attached to 2 alkyl or aryl groups R-O-R, e.g diethyl ether, or Ar-O-Ar, such as diphenylether (C6H5)2O

C2H5-O-C2H5,m or dimethyl ether CH3—O-CH3. however they can between ether molecules and other molecules containing hydrogen atoms, such as alcohols, CH3OH. Any molecule with the hydrogen attached to a strongly electronegative element e.g Nitrogen or fluorine.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) has a higher boiling point than 1-propanol.</u>

This is false: Methoxyethane has a boiling point of 7.4 °C while propanol has a boiling point of 97-98 °C. This can be shown because at roomtemperature Methoxyethane is a gas but propanol is a liquid.

2. Chromium+oxygen - chromium(III) oxide <br>balanced​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Explanation:

Information from the question include:

Chromium + oxygen -> chromium(III) oxide

From the word equation given above, the equation can be written as follow:

Cr + O2 —> Cr2O3

The equation can be balance by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Cr2O3 and 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now, we have 4 atoms of Cr on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Cr as shown below:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now the equation is balanced

For an ideal gas condition, what is the mass (g) of N2 if the pressure is 2.0 atm, the volume is 25 mL and the temperature is 29
Alchen [17]

Answer:

THE MASS OF NITROGEN GAS IN THIS CONDITIONS IS 0.0589 g

Explanation:

In an ideal condition

PV = nRT or PV = MRT/ MM where:

M = mass = unknown

MM =molar mass = 28 g/mol

P = pressure = 2 atm

V = volume = 25 mL = 0.025 L

R = gas constant = 0.082 L atm/mol K

T = temperature = 290 K

n = number of moles

The gas in the question is nitrogen gas

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 * 2 = 28 g/mol

Then equating the variables and solving for M, we have

M = PV MM/ RT

M = 2 * 0.025 * 28 / 0.082 * 290

M = 1.4 / 23.78

M = 0.0589 g

The mass of the nitrogen gas at ideal conditions of 2 atm, 25 mL volume and 290 K temperature is 0.0589 g

What average global temperature is maintained when there is a balance in Earth’s energy budget?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The incoming and outgoing energy at the Earth’s surface must balance. Or in other words,  the flow of energy into the atmosphere must be balanced by an equal flow of energy out of the atmosphere and back to space.<span>
Earth's Energy balance describes how the incoming energy from the sun is used and returned to space. All </span>of the energy entering earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun. Half of it is absorbed by the earth’s surface i.e. the land and oceans, 30% is directly reflected back to space by clouds and 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds.<span>Earth's </span>actual<span> average global temperature is around 14° C (57 F).</span>
