How does induced transmutation produce trans uranium elements ?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Artificial transmutation may occur in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements. This releases, on average, 3 neutrons and a large amount of energy. The released neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted.

Calculate the electrical energy per gram of anode material for the following reaction at 298 K:

solmaris [256]

43.8 kJ

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?

The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.

Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, n, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.

Let $w_\text{max}$ represents the electrical energy produced.

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E_\text{cell}$ , where

n is the number of moles electrons transferred,
F is the Faraday's constant,
E $_\text{cell}$ is the cell potential,

n = 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

F = 96.486 kJ / ( $\text{V} \cdot \text{mol} \; \text{e}^{-}$ ).

Therefore,

$w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E\\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 0.144 \times 96.486 \times 3.15 \\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 43.8 \; \text{kJ}$ .

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ = (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = 142.36 K.

∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .
