Answer:

E = 17 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of the reaction is:

\Delta H = E_{p} - E_{r}  

<u>Where</u>:

Ep: is the energy of the products

Er: is the energy of the reactants

Similarly, the enthalpy of the reaction is related to the activation energy forward (E_{F}) and to the activation energy reverse (E_{R}) as follows:

\Delta H = E_{F} - E_{R}  

Having that ΔH = 44 kJ and E_{F} = 61 kJ, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is:

E_{R} = E_{F} - \Delta H = 61 kJ - 44 kJ = 17 kJ  

Therefore, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 17 kJ.

I hope it helps you!

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

What is nuclear fission
swat32
Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.
