Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).

Explanation:

1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →

I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.


2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:

→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?

3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236

4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234

5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.

The complete final equation is:

²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n

Where you have the two neutrons produced.

How does a conclusion differ from an inference?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

the difference between the two. Inference: Inference is something that uses facts to determine other facts. ... Inference can be accurate or inaccurate, justified or unjustified, logical or illogical. Conclusion: A conclusion is the next logical step in the information series.

Explanation:

Inferences and conclusions from that analysis can be powerful tools for understanding people and the decisions that they make. An inference is an assumed fact based on available information. A drawn conclusion is an assumption developed as a next logical step for the given information.

C2H4+
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A. Theoretical yield = 3.51g

B. %yield = 75%

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

C2H4 + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 2H2O

Molar Mass of O2 = 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 32 = 96

Molar Mass of H20 = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36g

A. From the equation,

96g of O2 produced 36g of H2O

Therefore, 9.35g of O2 will produce = (9.35 x 36)/96 = 3.51g of H2O

Therefore,theoretical yield of water (H2O) = 3.51g

B. Theoretical yield = 3.51

Actual yield = 2.63g

%yield =?

%yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100

%yield = 2.63/3.51

%yield = 75%

A storage tank contains n, o, and co2. The partial pressure of n and o gas are 600 torr and 150 torr. The total pressure is 825
earnstyle [38]

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 75 torr.

<h3>What is Dalton's theory?</h3>

Dalton's theory of gas states that total pressure of the mixture of gas sample is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of all the gases present in that sample.

Given that,

  • Total pressure of mixture = 825 torr
  • Partial pressure of Nitrogen = 600 torr
  • Partial pressure of oxygen = 150 torr
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

On putting values, we get

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 825 - (600 + 150) = 75 torr

Hence Partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 75 torr.
