Is the following nuclear equation balanced? 23? Np →He+ 233 AM o yes o no

Chemistry

ICE Princess25 [194]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

No. Equation is not balanced and also incorrect because non of the Np isotopes undergoes such type of radioactive decay in which it produces isotopes of Am.

Explanation:

The correct and balanced nuclear equation is given below.

²³⁷₉₃Np   →  ⁴₂He + ²³³₉₁Pa

The balanced nuclear equation is given above. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and protactinium.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

²³⁸₉₂U   →   ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ₂⁴He  + energy

They work by neutralizing the stomach acid that causes heartburn. You can buy many antacids without a prescription. Liquid forms work faster, but you may like tablets because they are easy to use.

Calculate AGrxn for this equation, rounding your
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: \Delta G_{rxn}=130.19J

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

The expression for Gibbs free energy change is,

\Delta G_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G_(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta G_(reactant)]

\Delta G_{rxn}=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta G_{CO_2})+(n_{CaO}\times \Delta G_{CaO})]-[(n_{CaCO_3}\times \Delta G_{CaCO_3})]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta G_{rxn}=[(1\times -394.4)+(1\times -604.17)]-[(1\times -1128.76)]

\Delta G_{rxn}=130.19J

Therefore, the gibbs free energy for this reaction is, +130.19 kJ

Which of the following is a strong reducing agent? Explain how you know.
swat32
The answer is: <span>The principal idea here is how r they obtained: 
for example: sodium  u put equal molar concentrations of sodium (Na) and sodium ion (Na+)  together in a beaker , then dip in this solution a platinium wire (zero potential) which is connected to a normal hydrogen electrode (electrode with zero potential)  then u see the reading of the whole circuit 
if it is negtive, this means negative potential which means that the reducing property predominates where Na(reducing agent) is oxidized and electrons r accumulated on the platinum which gives it negative charge 
This means that (Na) is a reducing agent, its strength depends on the value of the potential obtained, and here the table can help you 
If u want to know if it's strong red. agent, look for it in the table, see if it has higher reduction potentail (or lower oxidation potential, same idea) than most other substances then it is reducing agent 
and vice versa 

So if we look at ur examples, u will find that MnO4- is the very strong oxidizing agent (has highest oxidation potential) (lowest reduction potential) 

H+ and H2 are both with zero potential, no redox properties 

And lastly Na and Na+: 
This u can know from ur knowledge in chemistry, that sodium is very rarely found in elemental form and always in the form of ion so u can deduce that Na is the very strong reducing agent 
or u can see the value of its standard oxi or red potetial and deduce which is the predominating form of them. 

I hope this helps</span>

Suppose that you have a 60.0% solution of NaOH. How many milliliters of water must be added to 30.0 mL of this solution to prepa
defon

Answer:

  • <u>21.4 ml (second choice)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) C₁ = 60.0% (initial solution)

b) V₁ = 30.0 ml (initial solution)

c) C₂ = 0% (pure water)

d) V₂ = ? (pure water)

e) C₃ = 35.0% (final concentration)

<u>2) Formula:</u>

  • C₁V₁ + C₂V₂ = C₃V₃
  • V₁ + V₂ = V₃ (assuming volume addtivity)

<u>3) Solution:</u>

<u />

a) Substitute values in the first formula:

  • 60.0% × 30 ml + 0 = 35% (30 ml + V₂)

b) Solve the equation (units are supressed just to manipulate the terms)

  • 18 = 10.5 + 0.35V₂

  • 0.35V₂ = 18 - 10.5 = 7.5

  • V₂ = 7.5 / 0.35 = 21.4 ml ← answer
