Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

Ne4ueva [31]
I've done this a few times and keep coming up with 5.0 L . I used the mole ratio, and SO 2 as the LR. That would make 2 moles of SO3 5.0 L but its not one of your choices. the temp and pressure are constant, so according to n/v = p/rt the volume is the same as the moles. hope this helps

Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an  electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 +  ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 +  ₋₁⁰β
