Answer: The nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction is a type of alpha decay process. In this process, the nucleus decays by releasing an alpha particle. The mass number of the nucleus is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is also decreased by 2 units. The particle released is a helium nucleus.

The general equation representing alpha decay process is:

_{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\textrm{He}

For the given equation :

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}+^4_2\textrm{He}

As the atomic number and mass number must be equal on both sides of the nuclear equation:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}\rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}+^4_2\textrm{He}

Thus the nuclide symbol of X is ^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Question 43 please. i’m not sure if i got the right answer
hram777 [196]

a) The reaction is exothermic since the overall enthalpy change is negative. this means that the system has lost energy to the environment, namely, the apparatus and due to drought.

b) We first calculate the number of moles in 3.55 grams of magnesium.

number of moles= mass/ atomic mass

                            =3.55/24

                            =0.1479 moles(to 4sf)

now, if 2 moles of magnesium give -1204kJ

        How much energy is given by 0.1479 moles

       = (0.1479×-1204kJ)

        =-89.0358kJ (don't forget the negative sign)

c) two molesof MgO produces -1204kJ of energy

then -234kJ will be produced by

=(-234kJ×2moles)/1204kJ

=0.3887moles

one mole of MgO weighs 24+16=40

therefore the mass produced is 0.3887moles×40=15.548grams

(d) we first find the number of moles of MgO in 40.3 grams

number of moles=mass/RFM

=40.3g/40= 1.0075moles

if 2 moles of MgO give 1204 kJ then decomposing 1.0075 moles requires

(1.0075 moles×1204kJ)/2=606.515kJ
