Applying the conservation of mass:

Mass during bombardment:
242 (curium atom) + 4 (alpha particle)
= 246

This must equal the mass after bombardment:
1 (neutron) + x (unknown product)

246 = 1 + x
x = 245

The product is Californium-245

    Curium-242 when bombarded with an alpha particle( ₂He⁴),two products are formed,one is neutron and other one is californium - 245.


²⁴²Cm₉₆  +  ⁴He₂  ----->  ²⁴⁵Cf₉₈ + ¹n₀


total mass number = 242 + 4(left side)  = 245 + 1 (right side)

total atomic number = 96 + 2(left side) = 98 + 0 (right side)

Since the other product must have atomic number 98 its californium and it must have mass number 245(as total mass number must be same on either sides),the correct option is Californium - 245.

Determine the value of Kc for the following reaction if the equilibrium concentrations are as follows: [HCl]eq = 0.13 M, [HI]eq
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

3.53*10^{-32}

Explanation:

K_{c} =\frac{[HI]^{2}[Cl_{2}] }{[HCl]^{2}}=\frac{[5.6*10^{-16} ]^{2} [0.0019]}{[0.13]^{2} }=3.53*10^{-32}

Kc is the equilibrium constant calculated as the ration of products over reactants with their stoichiometric coefficients as their exponents. So the balanced chemical equation is important. Solids do not form part of the Kc expression, they do not affect the equilibrium constant which is why Iodine is not part of the calculations
