Answer:

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{Ni}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, ?

Let's write the question mark as a nuclear symbol.

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \,  _{Z}^{A}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

60 = 0 + A, so A = 60 - 0 = 60, and

27 = -1 + Z, so Z  = 27 + 1 = 28

Your nuclear equation becomes

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{X}

Element 28 is nickel, so the balanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{27}^{60}\text{Co} \longrightarrow \,  _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{28}^{60}\text{Ni}

How many moles of ions are there in 3 moles of calcium chloride?
klemol [59]

Answer:

9 moles of ions

Explanation:

Our compound is: CaCl₂(s)

We dissociate it:

CaCl₂(aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

Per 1 mol of chloride, we have 1 mol of calcium cation and 2moles of chlorides, so in total we have 3 moles of ions.

Therefore in 3 moles of chloride, we would have 9 moles of ions (3 . 3)

A gas has a pressure of 1.34 atm when the temperature is 237K. The gas is then heated until the temperature measures 312K. What
alexandr1967 [171]

The answer for the following question is answered below.

  • <em><u>Therefore the new pressure of the gas is 1.76 atm.</u></em>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of the gas = 1.34 atm

Initial temperature of the gas = 273 K

final temperature of the gas = 312 K

To solve:

Final temperature of the gas

We know;

From the ideal gas equation

P × V = n × R × T

So;

from the above equation we can say that

    <em>P ∝ T</em>

     \frac{P}{T} = constant  

     \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }

Where;

P_{1} = initial pressure of a gas

P_{2} = final pressure of a gas

T_{1} = initial temperature of a gas

T_{2} = final temperature of  a gas

    P_{2} = \frac{1.34*312}{237}

    P_{2}  = 1.76 atm

<em><u>Therefore the new pressure of the gas is 1.76 atm.</u></em>
