What happens in nuclear decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus...

Based on the balanced equation 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O calculate the number of excess reagent units remaining when 52 C2H2 mol
erica [24]

Answer:

20 molecules of oxygen gas remains after the reaction.

Explanation:

2C_2H_2 + 5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2 + 2H_2O

Molecules of ethyne = 52

Molecules of oxygen gas = 150

According to reaction, 2 molecules of ethyne reacts with 5 molecules of oxygen gas.

Then 52 molecules of ethyne will react with:

\frac{5}{2}\times 52=130 molecules of oxygen gas.

As we can see that we have 150 molecules of oxygen gas, but 52 molecules of ethyne will react with 130 molecules of oxygen gas. So, this means that ethyne is a limiting reagent and oxygen gas is an excessive reagent.

Remaining molecules of recessive reagent = 150 - 130 = 20

20 molecules of oxygen gas remains after the reaction.

<span>Let's assume that the oxygen gas has ideal gas behavior. 
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
      PV = nRT</span>


Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.

<span>
P = 2.2 atm = 222915 Pa
V = 21 L = 21 x 10</span>⁻³ m³

n = ?

R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

<span> T = 87 °C = 360 K

By substitution,
