A mixture of two compounds, A and B, was separated by extraction. After the compounds were dried, their masses were found to be:

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The percent recovery from re crystallization for both compounds A and B is 69.745 and 81.44 % respectively.

Explanation:

Mass of compound A in a mixture = 119 mg

Mass of compound A after re-crystallization = 83 mg

Percent recovery from re-crystallization :

$\frac{\text{Mass after re-crystallization}}{\text{Mass before re-crystallization}}\times 100$

Percent recovery of compound A:

$\frac{83 mg}{119 mg}\times 100=69.74\%$

Mass of compound B in a mixture = 97 mg

Mass of compound B after re-crystallization = 79 mg

Percent recovery of compound B:

$\frac{79 mg}{97 mg}\times 100=81.44\%$

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

$_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}$

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
