Chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements.

Chemical reactions might be fast -- burning gasoline, or slow -- rusting. Usually the require two or more reactants. Most of these, along with requiring more than 1 substance, also requires something to get it started ... burning needs a spark to start it.
Nuclear decay only requires 1 thing, the radioactive element. Wait and it spontaneously undergoes decay.

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

lora16 [44]

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.

2. Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + Fe (Need to balance equation)

shtirl [24]

Balanced equation: 2Al+Fe2O3–> Al2O3+2Fe

Using mole calculations you can find that 10g of Al produces 24.3g of Fe under the conditions described
