How can you tell something is a nuclear reaction rather than just a chemical reaction? pls help!

1 answer:

6 0

Answer is: D- there are different elements as products.
In balanced chemical reaction, there are same elements and number of elements on both sides of the reaction.
In nuclear reaction there are different elements and number of elements on the nuclear reaction.
For example nuclear reactions are alpha and beta decay, where new elements have different atomic and mass number.

An average bushel of apples has a mass of 10 kg and contains 5 dozen apples.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Average mass of 5 dozen apple = 10 kg

Find:

Average mass of 6 apple

Computation:

Average mass of 6 apple = [Average mass of 1 apple] x [6 apple]

Average mass of 6 apple = [10/(12 x 5)] x [6]

Average mass of 6 apple = 1 kg

What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in PF5

ddd [48]

so you can see those fluorine atoms have really spread out around the central phosphorus atom. this gives us a trigonal bi-pyramidal molecular geometry for pf5.

A chemist mixes 71.1 g of carbon tetrachloride with 65.4 g of isopropenylbenzene and 4.02 g of 2-ethyltoluene. Calculate the per

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

% Carbon tetrachloride = 50.6 %

% isopropenylbenzene = 46.5 %

% 2-ethyltoluene = 2.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A mixture contains:

71.1 grams of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)

65.4 grams of isopropenylbenzene (C9H10)

4.02 grams of 2-ethyltoluene (C9H12)

Step 2: Calculate total mass

Total mass = mass CCl4 + mass C9H10 + mass C9H12

Totam mass = 71.1g + 65.4g + 4.02g

Total mass = 140.52 grams

Step 3: Calculate % of each component:

% component = (mass component/ total mass) *100%

% Carbon tetrachloride = (71.1 / 140.52) *100 %

% Carbon tetrachloride = 50.6 %

% isopropenylbenzene = (65.4 / 140.52) *100%

% isopropenylbenzene = 46.5 %

% 2-ethyltoluene = (4.02/140.52) *100%

% 2-ethyltoluene = 2.9%

50.6% + 46.5% + 2.9% = 100%

CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) This reaction is carried out at a different temperature with initial concentrations o

Katarina [22]

Answer:

9.4

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

$CO_{(g)}$ + $2H_2O_{(g)}$ ⇄ $CH_3OH_{(g)}$

The ICE table can be represented as:

$CO_{(g)}$ + $2H_2_{(g)}$ ⇄ $CH_3OH_{(g)}$

Initial 0.27 0.49 0.0

Change -x -2x x

Equilibrium 0.27 - x 0.49 -2x x

We can now say that the concentration of $CH_3OH_{(g)}$ at equilibrium is x;

Let's not forget that at equilibrium $CH_3OH_{(g)}$ = 0.11 M

So:

x = [ $CH_3OH_{(g)}$ ] = 0.11 M

[ $CO_{(g)}$ ] = 0.27 - x

[ $CO_{(g)}$ ] = 0.27 - 0.11

[ $CO_{(g)}$ ] = 0.16 M

[ $2H_2_{(g)}$ ] = (0.49 - 2x)

[ $2H_2_{(g)}$ ] = (0.49 - 2(0.11))

[ $2H_2_{(g)}$ ] = 0.49 - 0.22

[ $2H_2_{(g)}$ ] = 0.27 M

$K_C = \frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}$

$K_C = \frac{(0.11)}{(0.16)[(0.27)^2}$

$K_C = 9.4307$

$K_C$ = 9.4

∴ The equilibrium constant at that temperature = 9.4

Analysis of an unknown substance indicates that it is a brittle solid. It acts as an electrical insulator (does not conduct) as

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

KBr

Explanation:

A metal has a very high melting point. Aluminum is a metal.

Ionic solids do not conduct electricity in the solid state. However, when the solids are melted, they conduct electricity.

KBr is an ionic substance, it can only conduct electricity in molten form because the ions are locked up in the solid.
