If you produce 10 moles of oxygen gas, how many grams of water did you start with?

When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?

Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the $\displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ with a neutron $^{1}_{0}n$ . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of $^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ . However, the atomic number will stay the same.

New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
Atomic number is still 80.

$^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The $^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ nucleus loses a proton $^{1}_{1}p$ . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

$^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.

(a) what is the approximate ductility (%el) of a brass that has a yield strength of 230 mpa (33360 psi)?

ss7ja [257]

Based on the calculations, the approximate ductility (%el) of this brass is equal to 2.3%.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Yield strength = 230 mpa (33360 psi).

<h3>What is ductility?</h3>

Ductility can be defined as an important property of a material which determines its ability to become elongated due to the application of stress.

Mathematically, the ductility of a material can be expressed as percentage elongation in length:

$\% el = \frac{\Delta L}{L_i} =\frac{L_f - L_i}{L_i}$
