A plutonium atom undergoes nuclear fission. Identify the missing element in the nuclear equation.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

_{92}^{226}U

Explanation:

Let's firstly identify the atomic number (the number of protons) of Pu. This is done by referring to the periodic table and finding Pu. The atomic number of Pu is:

Z=94

In order to identify the type of a nuclear decay, we need to find the N/Z ratio. This is the ratio between the number of neutrons and the atomic number of an isotope. The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number:

N=M-Z

That said, the N/Z ratio equation becomes:

N/Z=\frac{M-Z}{Z}=\frac{M}{Z}-1=\frac{230}{94}-1=1.45

This is a relatively high number thinking about the belt of stability of isotopes. Ideally, stable isotopes with a low Z value have an N/Z ratio of 1. Heavier isotopes with Z > 50 would have a slightly higher N/Z ratio and would be stable around N/Z = 1.25. This means we wish to decrease the N/Z ratio as much as possible.

Among all the decays, alpha-decay is preferred to decrease the N/Z ratio significantly (1.45 is much higher than 1.25). That said, we'll release an alpha particle with some nucleotide X of mass M and atomic number Z:

_{94}^{230}Pu\rightarrow _Z^MX+_2^4\alpha

According to the mass and charge conservation law:

230=M+4\therefore M=230 - 4 = 226

94=Z+2\therefore Z = 94-2 = 92

Identify an element with Z = 92 in the periodic table. This is uranium, U:

_{92}^{226}U

What happens when you heat iodine and ammonium chloride?
DiKsa [7]
Test tube of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) being heated over a bunsen burner flame. Ammonium chloride decomposes readily when heated, but condenses in the cooler area at the top of the test tube. This is a reversible reaction, where the ammonium chloride decomposes into the gases ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).

Find the empirical formula of a compound which contains 54.93% potassium, 38.73% boron and 6.34% hydrogen.
Softa [21]
Use the percent as mass in g 
Mass g) --> g/mol 
K, B and H molar mass from periodic table

54.93 g K x (1 mol K/ 39.10 g K) = 1.405 mol K
38.73 g B x (1 mol B/ 10.81 g B) = 3.583 mol B
6.34 g H x (1 mol H/ 1.008 g H) = 6.290 mol H

Divide all three answers by the smallest value and you will get 
1.000 mol K
2.550 mol B
4.477 mol H 
now multiply these three answers by a number that will make all a whole number or (a number with a 9 as the first decimal point)
so multiply by 2
2 mol k
5 mol B
and 9 mol H
E.F. = K2B5H9 
Answer is D 
Sorry for bad explanation!!!!!!

Identify the elements given the orbital diagrams listed below.​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

1. There are 8 electrons. Elements that end with 2p orbitals are in the 2nd period (aka row) of the periodic table. Elements that have 4 electrons in 2p are in the 16th group (aka column) (column 16 may also be referred to as 6A) of the periodic table. So looking at row 2, column 16, we can see that the first diagram is of O, Oxygen.

2. 8 electrons. This is the same diagram as the one above.

3. 13 electrons. Elements ending with 3p are in period 3. Elements with 1 valence electron in a p orbital are in group 13 (aka group 3A).

4. 7 electrons. We already know 2p is period 2. 3 valence electrons in a p orbital means that it is in group 15/group 5A.

I did not write the answers for #3 and 4 but they can be easily found on a periodic table with the info I gave.
