Which statement correctly identifies the nuclide that is most likely to be unstable and describes why?

1 answer:

8 0

The answer would be B.

U-238 has a n to p ration of 1.6:1. 146 neutrons and 92 protons.

It is actually the most commonly used isotope is reactors.

C-14 is also a radioactive isotope with 8 neutrons and 6 protons.

The usual and ideal n to p ratio is 1:1 such as C-12 or Mg-24

How many moles of O2 are needed to react with 2.55 mol of C2H2?

Lelechka [254]

Answer: 6.38 moles of $O_2$ are needed to react with 2.55 mol of $C_2H_2$

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of ethyne is:

$2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of $C_2H_2$ require = 5 moles of $O_2$

Thus 2.55 mol of $C_2H_2$ require = $\frac{5}{2}\times 2.55=6.38$ moles of $O_2$

Thus 6.38 moles of $O_2$ are needed to react with 2.55 mol of $C_2H_2$

Consider the formation of nitryl fluoride: 2NO2(g)+F2(g)⇌2NO2F(g) The reaction is first order in F2 and second order overall. Wh

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Rate = $k[NO_{2}][F_{2}]$

Explanation:

Two reactants are present in this reaction which are $NO_{2}and F_{2}$
We know overall order of a reaction is summation of individual order with respect to reactants present in rate law equation.
Here, overall order of reaction is 2 including first order with respect to $F_{2}$
So, rate of reaction should also be first order with respect to another reactant i.e. first order with respect to $NO_{2}$
So, rate law: rate = $k[NO_{2}][F_{2}]$

You are running a rather large scale reaction where you prepare the grignard reagent phenylmagnesium bromide by reacting 210.14

almond37 [142]

Answer:

We would expect to form 7.35 moles of grignard reagent.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of magnesium = 210.14 grams

Volume bromobenzene = 772 mL

Density of bromobenzene = 1.495 g/mL

Molar mass of Mg = 24.3 g/mol

Molar mass of bromobenzene = 157.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C6H5Br + Mg ⇒ C6H5MgBr

Step 3: Calculate mass of bromobenzene

Mass bromobenzene = density bromobenzene * volume

Mass bromobenzene = 1.495 g/mL * 772 mL

Mass bromobenzene = 1154.14 grams

Step 4: Calculate number of moles bromobenzene

Moles bromobenzene = mass bromobenzene / molar mass bromobenzene

Moles bromobenzene = 1154.14g / 157.01 g/mol

Moles bromobenzene = 7.35 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of Mg

Moles Mg = 210.14 grams /24.3 g/mol

Moles Mg = 8.65 moles

Step 6: The limiting reactant

The mole ratio is 1:1 So the bromobenzene has the smallest amount of moles, so it's the limiting reactant. It will be completely consumed ( 7.35 moles). Magnesium is in excess, There will react 7.35 moles. There will remain 8.65 - 7.35 = 1.30 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles of phenylmagnesium bromide

For 1 mole of bromobenzene, we need 1 mole of Mg to produce 1 mole of phenylmagnesium bromide

For 7.35 moles bromobenzene, we have 7.35 moles phenylmagnesium bromide

We would expect to form 7.35 moles of grignard reagent.

What design element of an astronaut's spacesuits protects him or her from micrometeoroids, which are tiny bits of space debris t

leonid [27]

Answer:

Tough outer shell

Explanation:

Three types of space suits based on their purpose are IVA (Intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity)

Space suits have an outer layer known as the Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment also known as the TMG or ITMG

The functions of the TMG includes the provision of an insulation medium to the wearer of the suit thereby preventing loss of heat and keeping the wearer warm, protect the wearer from solar radiation which are harmful as well as from Micrometeoroid and debris orbiting in space known as MMOD

The outermost layer of the EMU TMG suits is white Ortho-Fabric that consists of Nomex, Kevlar and Gore-Tex, making it fire resistant, very strong and very tough, and water proof as well as breathable.
