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

Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is a widely used industrial abrasive (known as emery or corundum), for which the specific application dep
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

On the Moh's scale of hardness, aluminum oxide is positioned just below to diamond due to which it is considered as one of the hardest known compounds. This also shows that the compound exhibit an enormous amount of lattice energy, as to transform the oxide into its constituent ions, the energy is required to overcome.  

Based on the chemical formula of the compound, that is, Al2O3, it is shown that the ions of Al3+ and O2- are kept close due to the activity of the strong electrostatic ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces and the ionic bonding between the ions are extremely robust due to the presence of the ions high charge density. Therefore, to dissociate the bonds, an enormous amount of energy is needed, and at the same time, a high amount of lattice energy is present.

Which equation represents a neutralization reaction?
Harrizon [31]

Answer: HCI + KOH → KCI + H20

Explanation:

HCI(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCI(aq) + H20(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

The above is a neutralization reaction in which an acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of a base, aqueous KOH to produce salt, aqueous KCl and water, liquid H2O only.

This is a neutralization reaction since, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HCl is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the KOH to form the water molecule, H2O and salt, KCl only.

To titrate 45.00 milliliters of an unknown HCl sample, use 25.00 milliliters of a standard 0.2000 M NaOH titrant. What is the mo
gtnhenbr [62]
V ( HCl ) = 45.00 mL in liters : 45.00 / 1000 => 0.045 L

M ( HCl ) = ?

V ( NaOH ) = 25.00 / 1000 => 0.025 L 

M ( NaOH) = 0.2000 M

number of moles NaOH :

n = M x V = 0.2000 x 0.025 => 0.005 moles of NaOH

Mole ratio:

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

1 mole HCl ---------- 1 mole NaOH
? mole HCl ---------- 0.005 moles NaOH

moles HCl = 0.005 x 1 / 1

= 0.005 moles of HCl :

M ( HCl ) = n / V

M ( HCl ) = 0.005 / 0.045

= 0.1111 M

hope this helps!
