When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?

Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the $\displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ with a neutron $^{1}_{0}n$ . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of $^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ . However, the atomic number will stay the same.

New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
Atomic number is still 80.

$^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The $^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ nucleus loses a proton $^{1}_{1}p$ . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

$^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.

What are the 5 steps in nuclear production

ira [324]

The first step is splitting the atoms. Then there are control rods that absorb free floating nerons that are a result of fission. Next they heat they water pipe. Finally when they heat the pipe and water it turns to steam and they use it to harness energy!

Question 6: Iron metal and chlorine gas react to form iron (III) chloride: 2 Fe(s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 FeCl3 (s)

Bas_tet [7]

10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

What ois Theoretical yield ?

The quantity of a product obtained from a reaction is expressed in terms of the yield of the reaction.

The amount of product predicted by stoichiometry is called the theoretical yield, whereas the amount obtained actually is called the actual yield.

As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe consumes 213 gm of Cl₂ to produce 2FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will consumes = 213 / 111.68 x 10 = 19 gm Cl₂

As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe produces 2 mole (324 gm) of FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will produces = 324 / 111.68 x 10 = 29 gm FeCl₃

Hence , 10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

A certain gas has a volume of 500.0 mL at 77.0°C and 600KPa. Calculate the temperature if the volume decreased to 400.0 mL and t

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

354.67K

Explanation:

Applying

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂................. Equation 1

Where Where P₁ = initial pressure, T₁ = Initial temperature, V₁ = Initial Volume, P₂ = Final pressure, V₂ = Final Volume, T₂ = Final Temperature.

From the question, we are ask to look for the final temperature,

Therefore we make T₂ the subject of the equation

T₂ = P₂V₂T₁/P₁V₁............. Equation 2

Given: P₁ = 600 kPa, V₁ = 500 mL, T₁ = 77 °C = (273+77) = 350 K, P₂ = 760 kPa, V₂ = 400.0 mL

Substitute these values into equation 2

T₂ = (760×400×350)/(600×500)

T₂ = 354.67 K
