The bomb that destroyed tje Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995 was constructed from ordinary material

s: fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) and fiel oil (a mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons, similar to decane, C10H22). Calculate the total enthalpy (delta H, in kJ) when 11.40 grams of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3, 80.04 g/mol) reacts according to the following reaction.
3NH4 NO3(s) + C10H22 (l) + 14O2 (g) → 3N2(g) 17 H2O (g) + 10CO2 (g)

Answer:

ΔH⁰(11.4g NH₄NO₃) = -30.59Kj (4 sig. figs. ~mass of  NH₄NO₃(s) given) (exothermic)

Explanation:

           3NH₄NO₃(s) + C₁₀H₂₂(l) + 14O₂(g) => 3N₂(g)  +  17H₂O(g)   +  10CO₂(g)

ΔH⁰(f):  3(-365.6)Kj     1(-301)Kj    14(0)Kj       3(0)Kj    17(-241.8)Kj    10(-393.5)Kj

            = -1096.8Kj     = -301Kj     = 0Kj         = 0Kj      = -4110.6Kj    = -3930.5Kj

ΔHₙ°(rxn) = ∑ (ΔH˚(f)products) - ∑(ΔH˚(f)reactants)

= [3(0)Kj + 17(-241.8)Kj + (-393.5)Kj] - [(-(1096.8)Kj + (-301)Kj + (0)Kj]

= [-(8041.1) - (-1397.8)]Kj

= -6643.3Kj (for 3 moles NH₄NO₃ used in above equation)  

∴ Standard Heat of Rxn = -6643.3Kj/3moles = -214.8Kj/mole NH₄NO₃(s)

ΔH°(rxn for 14.11g  NH₄NO₃(s)) = (11.4g/80.04g·mol⁻¹)(-214.8Kj/mol) = 30.5937Kj ≅ 30.59Kj (4 sig. figs. ~mass of  NH₄NO₃(s) given)

What is the difference between natural and artificial transmutation? Give an<br> example of each.
cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

Natural transmutation is the spontaneous disintegration of a heavy nuclide into lighter ones or fusion of lighter nuclides into heavier ones. These processes occurs naturally without anything inducing them. Nuclear fission of light elements in the core of stars is an example of natural transmutation.

  • Typically, all nuclei with atomic number greater than 83 are naturally radioactive.

         ²³⁸₉₂U  →  ²³⁴₉₂Th  + ⁴₂He

In artificial transmutation,  nuclear reactions are initiated through the collision of a nuclide with a high speed particle. Here, unstable nuclei are produced artificially in nuclear reactions. Such unstable nuclei also produce radiations.

          ¹₀n  + ²³₁₁Na → ²⁴₁₁Na + γ
