Answer:

Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.

Answer:

It happens when a heavy nucleus is bombarded with neutrons, so it becomes unstable and decomposes into two nuclei.

Explanation:

This is known by the term nuclear fission, which is a reaction by which a heavy nucleus, when bombarded with neutrons, becomes unstable and divides into two nuclei, of sizes of the same order of magnitude, there is a high release of energy and emits two or three neutrons. These neutrons can lead to more fissions by interacting with other fissile nuclei.

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?

Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of $Na_{2} So_{4}$ is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} = 3.2 moles$

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.

Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of cesium.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take a look at the attachment below

Explanation:

Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.

Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.

Silver sulfadiazine burn-treating cream creates a barrier against bacterial invasion and releases antimicrobial agents directly

trapecia [35]

Answer : The mass of silver sulfadiazine produced can be, 71.35 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of $Ag_2O$ = 25.0 g

Mass of $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ = 50.0 g

Molar mass of $Ag_2O$ = 231.7 g/mole

Molar mass of $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ = 250.3 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgC_{10}H_{9}N_4SO_2$ = 357.1 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $Ag_2O$ and $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Ag_2O=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Ag_2O}{\text{ Molar mass of }Ag_2O}=\frac{25.0g}{231.7g/mole}=0.1079moles$

$\text{ Moles of }C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2}=\frac{50.0g}{250.3g/mole}=0.1998moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Ag_2O(s)+2C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2(s)\rightarrow 2AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2(s)+H_2O(l)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ react with 1 mole of $Ag_2O$

So, 0.1998 moles of $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ react with $\frac{0.1998}{2}=0.0999$ moles of $Ag_2O$

From this we conclude that, $Ag_2O$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $C_{10}H_{10}N_4SO_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $AgC_{10}H_9N_4SO_2$
