Phosphorus pentoxide react with sodium hydroxide
P4O10 + 12NaOH → 4Na3PO4 + 6H2O
The salt so formed is called sodium phosphate or trisodium phosphate.
Answer: The activation energy is 10 kJ and the reaction is exothermic.
Explanation: Exothermic reactions are those in which heat is released and thus the energy of products is less than the energy of reactants.
Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed and thus the energy of products is more than the energy of reactants.
Activation energy is the extra amount of energy required by the reactants to cross the energy barrier to convert to products.
Given : Energy of reactants = 40kJ
Energy of activation: (50-40)=10 kJ
Energy of products = 50 kJ
Energy of products = 15 kJ
Thus Energy of products (15kJ) < Energy of reactants(40kJ), the reaction is exothermic as energy has been lost to surroundings in the form of heat.
When you are dealing with mole calculations, whatever you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the other. .5Fe is 1/8th of 4Fe, so in order to determine what it will yield you must divide the given amount of Fe2O3 and divide THAT by 1/8th, leaving you with .25 mol of Fe2O3.
<span>Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a</span>lpha
decay is radioactive decay<span> in which
an atomic nucleus emits
an alpha particle (helium
nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic
number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.</span>
