<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier nuclei breaks down in two or more smaller nuclei.

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

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 3

A = 139

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

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

92 + 0 = Z + 36 + 0

Z = 56

The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{139}\textrm{Ba}$

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

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

92 + 0 = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

The isotopic symbol of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

Hence, the isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

What is the solution to the problem to the correct number of significant figures (102,900/12)+(170•1.27)

GarryVolchara [31]

As per as the Multiplication rules of the significant figures, whenever any numbers in the decimals forms are multiplied or divided then result in mentioned in such a way so that the significant figures after the decimal will be same as that in the given least condition.

_______________________________

102900/12 = 8575

170 × 1.27 = 215.9

∴ (102,900 ÷ 12) + (170 × 1.27) = 8575 + 215.9

= 8790.9

Now, As per as Above rules, answer in correct significant figures will be = 8791.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given after the questions so I just explain how to get it.

Explanation:

a)

Get the molecular weight of Phosphoric acid

H₃PO₄ = (3 x 1) + (31 x 1) + (16 x 4)

= 3 + 31 + 64

= 98 g

98 g ----------------- 1 mol

0.045 g --------------- x

x = (0.045 x 1) / 98

x = 0.045 / 98

x = 0.00046 moles or 4.6 x 10 ⁻⁴

b)

Molarity = $\frac{moles}{volume}$

Molarity = $\frac{0.00046}{0.35}$

Molarity = 0.0013 or 1.31 x 10⁻³

c)

Formula C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ = C₂V₂ / C₁

Substitution

V₁ = (0.0013)(1) / 0.01

Simplification and result

V₁ = 0.0013 / 0.1

V₁ = 0.13 l = 130 ml

Explain how you can use boyle's law to determine the new volume of gas when its pressure is increased from 270 kPa to 540 kPa? T

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on the information's the answer can be easily deduced.

We know the formula

<span>P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2
</span>
As the temperature is constant, so T1 and T2 can be negated. The formula changes to
<span>P1*V1 = P2*V2
</span>70 * 1 = 540 * V2
270/540 = V2
<span>V2 = 0.5
</span>
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the new volume is 0.5 liters. I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

<span>2.10 grams. The balanced equation for the reaction is CO + 2H2 ==> CH3OH The key thing to take from this equation is that it takes 2 hydrogen molecules per carbon monoxide molecule for this reaction. And since we've been given an equal number of molecules for each reactant, the limiting reactant will be hydrogen. We can effectively claim that we have 5.86/2 = 2.93 l of hydrogen and an excess of CO to consume all of the hydrogen. So the number of moles of hydrogen gas we have is: 2.93 l / 22.4 l/mol = 0.130803571 mol And since it takes 2 moles of hydrogen gas to make 1 mole of methanol, divide by 2, getting. 0.130803571 mol / 2 = 0.065401786 mol Now we just need to multiply the number of moles of methanol by its molar mass. First lookup the atomic weights involved. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 g/mol Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 g/mol Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 g/mol Molar mass CH3OH = 12.0107 + 4 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 32.04146 g/mol So the mass produced is 32.04146 g/mol * 0.065401786 mol = 2.095568701 g And of course, properly round the answer to 3 significant digits, giving 2.10 grams.</span>
