As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.
Answer:
Double replacement
Precipitation reaction
Explanation:
You have the reaction:
REACTANTS PRODUCTS
BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)
The general form of a double replacement reaction is the following:
AB + CD ⇒ CD + AB
The reactants basically, exchanged partners. In the case of your problem, Barium(Ba) and Sodium(Na) switched places. So this makes it a double-replacement reaction.
Now how do I know it is a precipitation reaction. A precipitation reaction occurs when two solutions combine and salt is formed. Salt is solid, so how do I know that's what occured? Look at your equation again:
BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)
aq means aqueous (liquid)
s means solid
If you look at the product formed in the reaction, from two solutions, it formed a solid. So this is your clue as to why it is a precipitation reaction.
The compound formed by chlorine and barium is
as the number of valence electrons in barium is 2 and in chlorine is 1. In this compound, barium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.
Since, barium is an element of Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) so the other element that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by chlorine and barium should be from Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) only which has properties somewhat like barium. So, the element is strontium.
Strontium forms a compound with formula
in which strontium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.
Answer: No charge (0)
Explanation:
The atom has a proton of 22 and electron number of 19. This means the element has lost 3 electrons. Therefore, the net charge is +3.
So, if this atom gains 3 more electrons, the net charge would be zero (neutral).
The total number of electron would now be 22 which is the same as the proton number.
This implies the atom is now in an unreacted state or ground state.
