Which of the following always changes when transmutation occurs?

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.

Vladimir [108]
 Hydrogenated vegetable oil is a preservative, thus, the correct option is D. Hydrogenated vegetable oil are used by food industries to prevent fat rancidity in order to give their product a longer shelf life. Hydrogenated oils are very good preservatives because all the enzymatic activities in the oil has been neutralized during the hydrogenating process.

Consider 100.0 g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. One compound contains 27.2 g of carbon
Pani-rosa [81]

<u>Answer:</u> The ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a given mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number. For Example: Cu_2O\text{ and }CuO

  • <u>For Sample 1:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 27.2 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 27.7) = 72.8 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{27.2g}{12g/mole}=2.26moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{72.8g}{16g/mole}=4.55moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 2.26 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{2.26}{2.26}=1

For Oxygen  = \frac{4.55}{2.26}=2.01\approx 2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 2

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is CO_2

  • <u>For Sample 2:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 42.9 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 42.9) = 57.1 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{57.1g}{16g/mole}=3.57moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.57 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.57}{3.57}=1

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.57}{3.57}=1

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 1

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is CO

In the given samples, we need to fix the ratio of oxygen atoms.

So, in sample one, the atom ratio of oxygen and carbon is 2 : 1.

Thus, for 1 atom of oxygen, the atoms of carbon required will be = \frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}

Now, taking the ratio of carbon atoms in both the samples, we get:

C_1:C_2=\frac{1}{2}:1=1:2

Hence, the ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2
