In, 1937 Lawrence, in operating his cyclotron, bombarded a molybdenum-96 foil with deuterium ions (2h), producing for the first time an element not found in nature. He was initially unaware that the radioactivity produced by the "bombarded foil" was not from molybdenum but from a new, artificial element. It was his cooperation with Italian-American physicist <span>Emilio Segrè </span>that allowed the new element to be discovered. The answer is Technetium: Tc

Complete and balance the following redox reaction in basic solution
inn [45]

Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid

What is the balanced equation and type of reaction for: <br> Copper metal+aqueous silver nitrate
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)

This chemical equation means:

One mole of solid copper plus two moles of aqueous silver nitrate produce one mole of copper(II) nitrate plus two moles of solid silver.

This is a single replacement reaction in which the metal copper replaces the metal silver.

What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps  :)

Describe what happened when sodium chloride (salt) was placed in water in the video What happens when stuff dissolves?"
Sonja [21]

Answer:

-

Explanation:

Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
