4 0

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.

0.352 g sample of a diprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.150 M NaOH.0.150 M NaOH. What is the molar mass of t
Aliun [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

128.94 g/mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given;

Mass of diprotic acid, H₂X =0.352 g

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

Volume of the NaOH = 36.4 mL

We are required to calculate the molar mass of the acid.

Note: A diprotic acid is an acid that contains 2 replaceable hydrogen atoms

<h3>Step 1: Write the balanced equation fro the reaction;</h3>

The balanced equation for the reaction between the diprotic acid and NaOH will be;

H₂X(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂X(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

<h3>Step 2: Determine the number of moles of NaOH used </h3>

Given the molarity and volume of NaOH we can calculate the number of moles;

Moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume

                          = 0.150 M × 0.0364 L

                         = 0.00546 moles

<h3>Step 3: Use the mole ratio to determine moles of the acid </h3>

From the equation;

1 mole of the acid reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

Therefore; H₂x : NaOH = 1 : 2

Moles of H₂x = 0.00546 moles ÷ 2

                      = 0.00273 moles

<h3>Step 4: Determine the molar mass of the acid.</h3>

Molar mass is the mass equivalent to 1 mole of a compound or element

From our calculations;

0.00273 moles = 0.352 g of the acid;

Therefore, mass in 1 mole ;

= 0.352 g ÷ 0.00273 moles

= 128.94 g/mol

Thus, the molar mass of the diprotic, H₂X is 128.94 g/mol

Radium has a half-life of 1,620 years. In how many years will a 1 kg sample of radium decay and reduce to 0.125 kg of radium?
Tasya [4]
We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

PLLLLLLLZ HELP IS NEEDED ASAP I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

1)Reactants

2)Light

3)An item that can increase reaction rates

4)Reactants must collide with each other

Less molecules lower the chance for collisions

The more collisions there are the higher the reaction rate
