Which equation represents a transuranium​

Chemistry

Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

Consider the balanced reaction: 4Ga(s) + 3O2(g)⟶ 2Ga2O3(s)
Paha777 [63]

First we need to find the number of moles that 43.9g of gallium metal is. We can do this by finding the molar weight of gallium and cross-multiplying to cancel out units:


\frac{1mole}{69.723g}*\frac{43.9g}{1}=0.63mol_{Ga}


So we are dealing with 0.63 moles of gallium metal.


We can take from the balanced equation that 4 moles of gallium metal will react completely with 3 moles of oxygen gas. We can take this ratio and make a proportion to find the amount of oxygen gas, in moles, that will react completely with 0.63 moles of gallium metal:


\frac{4moles_{Ga}}{3moles_{O_{2}}} =\frac{0.63moles_{Ga}}{xmoles_{O_{2}}}


Cross multiply and solve for x:


4x=1.89


x=0.47moles_{O{2}}


So now we know that 0.47 moles of oxygen gas will react with 43.9g of gallium metal.

Which element in period 4 has the highest electronegativity?
MissTica
The trend of electronegativity in the periodic table is increasing from left to right and from bottom to top. In the period 4 which is horizontal, the element which has the highest electronegativity is the right most element except the noble gas. This element is bromine.
