Answer:

$_{91}^{233}\textrm{Pa}$

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same. It is mentioned that the a alpha particle, $^4_2\textrm{He}$ is being emitted.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{237}_{93}\textrm{Np}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^4_2\textrm{He}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

237 = A + 4

A = 233

To calculate Z:

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

93 = Z + 2

Z = 91

Hence, the isotopic symbol of unknown element is $_{91}^{233}\textrm{Pa}$

A reaction was performed in which 3.6 g 3.6 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.3 g 1.3 g of methyl ben

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For benzoic acid:

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

$\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108$ moles of methyl benzoate

Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g$

To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 45 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, h

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.

Explanation:

Length of the base = l

Width of the base = w

Height of the pyramid = h

Volume of the pyramid = $V=\frac{1}{3}lwh$

We have:

Rate at which water is filled in cube = $\frac{dV}{dt}= 45 cm^3/s$

Square based pyramid:

l = 6 cm, w = 6 cm, h = 13 cm

Volume of the square based pyramid = V

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times l^2\times h$

$\frac{l}{h}=\frac{6}{13}$

$l=\frac{6h}{13}$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times (\frac{6h}{13})^2\times h$

$V=\frac{12}{169}h^3$

Differentiating V with respect to dt:

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{12}{169}h^3)}{dt}$

$\frac{dV}{dt}=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$45 cm^3/s=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times h^2}$

Putting, h = 4 cm

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times (4 cm)^2}$

$=13.20 cm/s$

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.
