Part complete When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in the formation

of two new nuclei and neutrons. The following equation is an example of one such fission process: 235 92U+10n→AZBa+9436Kr+310n
Enter the isotope symbol for the barium (Ba) nucleus in this reaction.In another process in which 235 92U undergoes neutron bombardment, the following reaction occurs:235 92U+10n --> AZSr+143 54Xe+310nEnter the isotope symbol for the strontium (Sr) nucleus in this reaction.

<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 $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

A student reacted NiS2 (MM = 122.83 g/mol) with O2 (MM=32.00 g/mol) to make SO2 (MM=64.07 g/mol) according to this balanced equa

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 0.49 × 10² %

Explanation:

Given data:

Actual yield of SO₂ = 4.309 ×10² g

Theoretical yield of SO₂ = 8.78 ×10² g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NiS₂ + 5O₂ → 2NiO + 4SO₂

Percentage yield:

Percentage yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 4.309 ×10² g / 8.78 ×10² g × 100

Percentage yield = 0.491 × 100

Percentage yield = 49.1%

In scientific notation:

Percentage yield = 0.49 × 10² %

If you have access to stock solutions of 1.00 M H3PO4, 1.00 M of HCl, and 1.00 M NaOH solution, (and distilled water of course),

garri49 [273]

Answer:

0.10L of 1.00M of H₃PO₄ and 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Explanation:

The pKa's of phosphoric acid are:

H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻ = 2.1

H₂PO₄⁻/HPO₄²⁻ = 7.2

HPO₄²⁻/PO₄³⁻ = 12.0

To make a buffer with pH 9.40 we need to convert all H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and an amount of H₂PO₄⁻ to HPO₄²⁻

To have a 50mM solution of phosphoures we need:

2L * (0.050mol / L) = 0.10 moles of H₃PO₄

0.10 mol * (1L / mol) = 0.10L of 1.00M of H3PO4

To convert the H₃PO₄ to H₂PO₄⁻ and to HPO₄²⁻ must be added NaOH, thus:

H₃PO₄ + NaOH → H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

H₂PO₄⁻ + NaOH → HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

Using H-H equation we can find the amount of NaOH added:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

<em>Where [A-] is conjugate base, HPO₄²⁻ and [HA] is weak acid, H₂PO₄⁻</em>

<em>pH = 7.40</em>

<em>pKa = 7.20</em>

[A-] + [HA] = 0.10moles <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

7.40 = 7.20 + log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

0.2 = log 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 = 0.10mol - [HA] / [HA]

1.5849 [HA] = 0.10mol - [HA]

2.5849[HA] = 0.10mol

[HA] = 0.0387 moles = H₂PO₄⁻ moles

That means moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.10mol - 0.0387moles = 0.0613 moles

The moles of NaOH needed to convert all H₃PO₄ in H₂PO₄⁻ are 0.10 moles

And moles needed to obtain 0.0613 moles of HPO₄²⁻ are 0.0613 moles

Total moles of NaOH are 0.1613moles * (1L / 1mol) = 0.1613L of 1.00M NaOH

Then, you need to dilute both solutions to 2.00L with distilled water.

Can someone help me with number 1 and 2 plz!

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1) 0 N

2) 8 N

Explanation:

The net force is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object.

For question 1, we can see that there is a force of 5 N acting to the right and 5 N acting to the left. If we define the right to be positive and the left to be negative, then the net force equals:

Fnet = 5N - 5N = 0 N

Therefore, the net force in question 1 is 0 N.

For question 2, the process is very similar. We want to find the sum of the forces acting on the object. In this case, there are forces of 3 N and 5 N acting to the right.

Fnet = 3 N + 5 N = 8 N

Therefore, the net force in question 2 is 8 N.

Hope this helps!
