What is the difference between natural and artificial transmutation? Give an example of each.

Chemistry

cricket20 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Natural transmutation is the spontaneous disintegration of a heavy nuclide into lighter ones or fusion of lighter nuclides into heavier ones. These processes occurs naturally without anything inducing them. Nuclear fission of light elements in the core of stars is an example of natural transmutation.

  • Typically, all nuclei with atomic number greater than 83 are naturally radioactive.

         ²³⁸₉₂U  →  ²³⁴₉₂Th  + ⁴₂He

In artificial transmutation,  nuclear reactions are initiated through the collision of a nuclide with a high speed particle. Here, unstable nuclei are produced artificially in nuclear reactions. Such unstable nuclei also produce radiations.

          ¹₀n  + ²³₁₁Na → ²⁴₁₁Na + γ

An unknown triprotic acid (H3A) is titrated with NaOH. After the titration Ka1 is determined to be 0.0013 and Ka2 is determined
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

6.68 X 10^-11

Explanation:

From the second Ka, you can calculate pKa = -log (Ka2) = 6.187

The pH at the second equivalence point (8.181) will be the average of pKa2  and pKa3. So,

8.181 = (6.187 + pKa3) / 2

Solving gives pKa3 = 10.175, and Ka3 = 10^-pKa3 = 6.68 X 10^-11

What is the name of(NH4)3PO4
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

What is the name of the compound (NH4) 3PO4? (NH)4+ is an ammonium radical and (PO4) 3- is a phospate radical. When we start writing the compound,the valency of phosphate goes to ammonium as subscript,and that of ammonium goes to phosphate. Hence the formula (NH4)3 PO4 and it's name is ammonium phospate.

An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 g when filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.53 g/cm3). What i its volu
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Volume of vial= 9.626cm3

b) Mass of vial with water = 62.92 g

Explanation:

a) Mass of empty vial = 55.32 g

Mass of Vial + Hg = 185.56 g

Therefore,

mass\ of\ Hg = 185.56-55.32 = 130.24 g

Density of Hg = 13.53 g/cm3

Volume\ of\ vial = Volume\ of\ Hg = \frac{Mass}{Density} \\\\= \frac{130.24g}{13.53g/cm3} = 9.626 cm3

b) Volume of water = volume of vial = 9.626 cm3

Density of water = 0.997 g/cm3

Mass\ of\ water = Density*volume = 0.997g/cm3*9.626cm3=9.60 g\\\\Total\ Mass\ of\ vial = Empty\ vial + mass\ of\ water\\= 53.32+9.60= 62.92g
