What type of reaction is the decay of carbon-14

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.

Murljashka [212]

Answer: The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$ . Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

Substitute natural gas (SNG) is a gaseous mixture containing CH4(g) that can be used as a fuel. One reaction for the production

Lynna [10]

Answer:

ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ

Explanation:

Based on gas law, it is possible to find the ΔH of a reaction using ΔH of half reactions.

Using the reactions:

(1) C(graphite) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO(g) ΔH° = -110.5 kJ

(2) CO(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH° = -283.0 kJ

(3) H₂(g) + 1/2O₂(g) → H₂O(l) ΔH° = -285.8 kJ

(4) C(graphite) + 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH° = -74.81 kJ

(5) CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) ΔH° = -890.3 kJ

The sum of 4×(4) + (5) gives:

4C(graphite) + 8H₂(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -74.81 kJ ×4 - 890.3 kJ = -1189.54kJ

Now, this reaction - 4×(1) gives:

4CO(g) + 8H₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + 3CH₄(g)

ΔH° = -1189.54kJ - 4×-110.5 = -747.54kJ

Thus ΔH° of the reaction is -747.54kJ

Gaseous ethane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . What is the theoretical yiel

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1) Write the balanced equation:

2C2H6 + 7O2 ---> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2) Determine limiting reagent:

C2H6 ⇒ 13.8 g / 30.0694 g/mol = 0.45894 mol

O2 ⇒ 45.8 g / 31.9988 g/mol = 1.4313 mol

C2H6 ⇒ 0.45894 / 2 = 0.22947

O2 ⇒ 1.4313 / 7 = 0.20447

Oxygen is limiting.

3) Determine theoretical yield of water:

The oxygen : water molar ratio is 7 : 6

7 is to 6 as 1.4313 mol is to x

x = 1.2268286 mol of water

4) Convert moles of water to grams:

1.2268286 mol times 18.015 g/mol = 22.1 g (to three sig figs)

Solution to (b):

14.2 g / 22.1 g = 64.2%

Describe what happened when Ag+ combined with Na2CO3. What does this indicate?

Y_Kistochka [10]

When Ag+ is combined with Na2CO3, the substances formed are Ag2CO3 and Na+. In this case, Ag performs single substitution over the element Na to form another set of substances. There are other types of reactions like double displacement, decomposition, etc.
