What would happen if uranium-241 lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons?

1 answer:

5 0

If uranium-241 lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then thorium-237 would be produced. The number beside the element is the mass number which is the sum of protons and neutrons. If uranium would lose 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then the mass number would decrease by 4 making it 237. Looking in a periodic table, thorium is the element which has a mass number of 237.

I have these orgo problems for homework and I have no idea where to even begin. We have to find missing reagents and products ba

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Honestly makes no sense sorry :(

Explanation:

I can try though.. There are three types of selectivity possible for any synthesis: (i) Chemoselectivity is deciding which group reacts. (ii) Regioselectivity is where the reaction takes place in that group. (iii) Stereoselectivity is how the group reacts with respect to the stereochemistry of the product.

A stereospecific mechanism specifies the stereochemical outcome of a given reactant, whereas a stereoselective reaction selects products from those made available by the same, non-specific mechanism acting on a given reactant. Of stereoisomeric reactants, each behaves in its own specific way.

I tried to explain it the best I could.

Hopefully this helps you :)

Feel free to correct me If it was wrong

A chemist has a small amount of compound ( b.p. = 65 oC) that must be fractionally distilled. Yet, the Chemist does not want to

koban [17]

Answer:

The chemist can either:

a. Use a small fractionation apparatus.

b. Add a compound with a much higher boiling point.

Explanation:

Using a smaller fractionation apparatus or Vigreux column will help to minimize loss of the distillate.

If a compound with a higher boiling point is added, the vapors of this liquid will displace the vapors of this small amount of compound with a lower boiling point. This compound with a higher boiling point is known as a Chaser.

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction

GarryVolchara [31]

Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.
