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.

Which of these conjugate acid-base pairs will not function as a buffer?A) HNO3 and NO3^-B) HCO3^- and CO3^2-C) C2H5COOH and C2H5
marin [14]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) HNO3 and NO3^-

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>HNO3 is a strong  acid and NO3 is its conjugate base, meaning it will not have any tendency to withdraw H+ from solution.</u></em>
  • Buffers are often prepared by mixing a weak acid or base with a salt of that weak acid or base.
  • The buffers resist changes in pH since they contain acids to neutralize OH- and a base to neutralize H+. Acid and base can not consume each other in neutralization reaction.

Will bromine react with sodium and why?
Archy [21]

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

What is the engine piston displacement in liters of an engine who’s displacement is listed as 430 in.²
sergeinik [125]

For an engine whose displacement is listed as 430 in.², the engine piston displacement in liters is mathematically given as

PD= 7.37 L  

<h3>What is the engine piston displacement in liters of an engine whose displacement is listed as 430 in.²?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the dimensional analysis method,\, we convert in to L is mathematically given as

l*(v/l)*l/v

Therefore,  piston displacement

PD=(450 in3) . (1 dm3 / 61.024 in3) . (1 L / 1 dm3)

PD= 7.37 L  

In conclusion, piston displacement

PD= 7.37 L

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

 a) 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J      b)   3.685 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

the constants involved are

h ( Planck constant) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s

Me of electron = 9.109 × 10 ⁻³¹ kg

speed of light = 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s

a) the Ek ( kinetic energy of the dislodged electron) = 0.5 mu²

Ek = 0.5 × 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ × ( 6.40 × 10⁵ )² = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J

b) Φ ( minimum energy needed to dislodge the electron ) can be calculated by this formula

hv =   Φ + Ek

where Ek = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J

v ( threshold frequency ) = c / λ where c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength of light = 358.1 nm = 3.581 × 10⁻⁷ m

v = ( 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s ) / (3.581 × 10⁻⁷ m ) = 8.378 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

hv = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s ×  8.378 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹ = 5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J + Φ

Φ = 5.551 × 10⁻¹⁹ J - 1.866 × 10 ⁻¹⁹ J = 3.685 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
