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}

Calculate AH°rxn from AH°7 values (use table in textbook appendix) a) Cl2 (g) + 2 Na (s) -› 2 NaCl (s) EITHER -411.1kJ/mol b) 2
MrMuchimi

To find AH°rxn, we use the following equation:

What we're going to do is to sum the enthalpy of the products and then substract with the enthalpy of the reactives:

As you can see, we need to multiply by the coefficients of the reaction.

Now, just replace the values of the table:

So the answer is -822.2kJ/mol.

For b:

Now, just replace the values of the table:

The answer for b is -1036kJ/mol.

Which isotope has the greatest number of protons?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:

  • <u>option D:  Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>

Explanation:

The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.

You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.

Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope

Sample       Chemical symbol  Element       atomic number   # of protons

A Pa-238       Pa                         protactinium         91                        91

B U-240         U                          uranium                 92                       92

C Np-238       Np                        neptunium            93                       93

D Pu-239        Pu                        plutonium              94                       94
