Chemistry
1 answer:
mart [117]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The atomic number

Explanation:

Transmutation refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation usually involves a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and this may be induced by a nuclear reaction.

Transmutation was first achieved in 1919 by Lord Rutherford when he successfully changed a nitrogen nucleus to an oxygen-18 isotope, producing a proton in the process.

Since transmutation often involves changing one atom into another, the atomic number or mass number of the original element always changes (to form a new element) in the process.

jonny [76]

Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be:

16Na(s)+S_8(s)\rightarrow 8Na_2S(s)

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

As per given statement, the sodium reacts with sulfur to form sodium sulfide as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

16Na(s)+S_8(s)\rightarrow 8Na_2S(s)

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 16 moles of Na react with 1 mole of S_8 to give 8 moles of Na_2S.

I need help asap <br>why is there only one variable in an experiment that changes? ​
tekilochka [14]

Answer: If more than one variable is changed in an experiment, scientist cannot attribute the changes or differences in the results to one cause. By looking at and changing one variable at a time, the results can be directly attributed to the independent variable.

What is the density of an object with a mass of 140 g and a volume<br> of 6 ml
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

<h2>23.33 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{140}{6} =  \frac{70}{3}   \\  = 23.3333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>23.33 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
