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.

What is nacl monosaccharide disaccharide organic or inorganic?
bonufazy [111]
<span>inorganic Let's look at the choices and see why they work, or don't work. monosaccharide * Otherwise known as a simple sugar. And NaCl is definitely not a sugar of any type. So this is wrong. disaccharide * Complex sugar. And NaCl doesn't qualify either. organic * A definition of an organic compound is one that has carbon in it. NaCl has sodium and chlorine. No carbon at all, so this isn't the right answer. And I wish that organic was an earlier choice, since the sugars mentioned above are organic compounds. inorganic * This is the only possible choice. Salt is not an organic compound since it doesn't have carbon. So it can't be a sugar either. But it can and is inorganic.</span>

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

V₂ = 530.5 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 20.0°C

Final temperature = 40.0 °C

Final volume = 585 mL

Initial volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 20.0°C (20+273 = 293 K)

Final temperature = 40.0 °C (40+273 = 323 K)

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = V₂T₁ /T₂  

V₂ = 585 mL × 293 K / 323 K

V₂ = 171405 mL.K / 323 K

V₂ = 530.5 mL

A potential energy diagram is shown.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

25kJ

Explanation:

Given the initial energy to be 30kJ

The energy change from the initial energy to the peak energy = (65-30) kJ

= 35kJ

since the second energy change was a drop in energy it is regarded negative

= (55-65)

= -10kJ

Therefore total energy change

= (35-10)kJ

= 25kJ

2Al + 6HCl --&gt; 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Aluminium reacts with hydrochloric acid. How many grams of aluminum are necessary to produce 11 L
dem82 [27]

Answer:

8.8g of Al are necessaries

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 2 moles of Al are required to produce 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

To solve this question we must find the moles of H2 in 11L at STP using PV = nRT. With these moles we can find the moles of Al required and its mass as follows:

<em>Moles H2:</em>

PV = nRT; PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure = 1atm at STP; V is volume = 11L; R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK and T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at STP</em>

Replacing:

1atm*11L/0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

n = 0.491 moles of H2 must be produced

<em />

<em>Moles Al:</em>

0.491 moles of H2 * (2mol Al / 3mol H2) = 0.327moles of Al are required

<em />

<em>Mass Al -Molar mass: 26.98g/mol-:</em>

0.327moles of Al * (26.98g / mol) = 8.8g of Al are necessaries
