When nucleus of two or more atoms are bombarded together then it leads to the formation of new particles with new identity. This type of reaction are called nuclear reaction.

For example, $^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ?C + ^{1}_{1}H$

Here, nitrogen atom when bombarded with a neutron then it is forming hydrogen and a carbon atom.

As total atomic mass on reactant side is (14 + 1) = 15

So, the atomic mass of carbon formed on product side is (15 - 1) = 14.

The number of protons holded by this carbon atom is (7 - 1) = 6.

Therefore, we can conclude that the complete reaction is as follows.

$^{14}_{7}N + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{14}_{6}C + ^{1}_{1}H$

Suggest the pH of the solution made when potassium oxide dissolves in water.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Since KOH is a strong base, the solution completely ionizes into K+ and OH- when in water. The reaction KOH --> K+ + OH- takes place. The concentration of [ OH- ] can then be used to calculate the pOH of the solution. pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.48 = 12.52
