Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
4.1 moles
Explanation:
Applying
PV = nRT................ equation 1
Where P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.
make n the subject of the equation
n = PV/RT.............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: V = 35 L , P = 2.8 atm, T = 15 °C = (15+273) = 288 K, R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol
Substitute these values into equation 2
n = (35×2.8)/(0.083×288)
n = 4.1 moles
The given reaction is:
3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2
Given:
Mass of Fe = 354 g
Mass of H2O = 839 g
Calculation:
Step 1 : Find the limiting reagent
Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol
Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol
# moles of Fe = mass of Fe/molar mass Fe = 354/56 = 6.321 moles
# moles of H2O = mass of h2O/molar mass of H2O = 839/18 = 46.611 moles
Since moles of Fe is less than H2O; Fe is the limiting reagent.
Step 2: Calculate moles of Fe3O4 formed
As per reaction stoichiometry:
3 moles of Fe form 1 mole of Fe3O4
Therefore, 6.321 moles of Fe = 6.321 * 1/ 3 = 2.107 moles of Fe3O4
Step 4: calculate the mass of Fe3O4 formed
Molar mass of Fe3O4 = 232 g/mol
# moles = 2.107 moles
Mass of Fe3O4 = moles * molar mass
= 2.107 moles * 232 g/mol = 488.8 g (489 g approx)
Hydrogen is composed of H atom and oxygen is composed of O atom. For water, it is composed by both H and O atom. If you burn hydrogen in oxygen, you can get water. And if you electrolysis water, you can get hydrogen and oxygen.
The number of protons is the atomic number
