Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an  electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 +  ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 +  ₋₁⁰β

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)

Generally \Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + \Delta N*  RT

Here \Delta  H is the change in enthalpy

\Delta  U is the change in the internal energy

              \Delta N  is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is O_2 and  CO_2 and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles

So  

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + [16 -23]*  RT

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U -7RT

The  negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy\Delta_r H would be less than the Internal energy \Delta_r U

for the reaction 2Fe + O2 = 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 8.00 mol of iron? when o2 is an excess
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + O₂ -------------------> 2FeO

8 mol Fe produce

8 mol Fe * 2 mol FeO / 2 mol Fe = 8 mol FeO

Mass of FeO = 8 mol FeO * 71.85 g/mol = 574.8 grams FeO

Explanation:

Having 8 mol of Iron means 8 moles of iron oxide can be produced. Each mole of iron oxide has a molecular weight of 71.85 grams. Therefore, 8 moles of iron oxide should weight 574.8 grams.
