If an atom of sodium combines with (captures) an alpha particle that has 2 protons and 2 neutrons, its new mass number will be

Chemistry
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

27 amu

Explanation:

The alpha particles is Helium nuclei.

Atomic mass is the sum of the neutrons and protons.

Helium have two protons and two neutrons thus its atomic mass is 4 amu.

₂He⁴

Sodium atom have 12 neutrons and 11 protons. Thus its mass number will be

23 amu.

When it combine with alpha particle it mass will be 27 amu.

23 amu + 4 amu = 27 amu.

Thus new sodium atom have 14 neutrons and 13 protons.

Describe the method of steel manufacture used when removes the impurities carbon, phosphorus and sulfur​
melisa1 [442]

Explanation:

Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap. In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and excess carbon (most important impurity) are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: (C) Although the average kinetic energy of the colliding substances increases, this has no influence on activation energy.

Explanation:

After increasing the temperature of the reaction , the rate of the chemical reaction increases due to increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles. At increased temperature high proportions of particles can react making the reaction faster.

Give reasons that might help explain the following observations:
marin [14]

The Benzenesulfonic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation because of the deactivation of the compound by the  carboxylic group.

<h3>What is the Grignard reagent?</h3>

The Grignard reagent is a compound that contains alkyl magnesium halide.

a) The student will be  unsuccessful to prepare a Grignard reagent from 4-bromocyclohexanol because of the -OH group that reacts with the Grignard reagent when formed.

b) The Benzenesulfonic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation because of the deactivation of the compound by the  carboxylic group.

c) The compound (2S, 3R)- 2,3-Dibromobutane has a specific rotation, [a]D, 0⁰ because it is a meso compound.

d) This is because, the tertiary alkyl halide is more prone to elimination reaction giving the alkene.

e) This is because, the reaction may be occurring by an SN1 mechanism and the rate determining step is the formation of the carbocation.
