pashok25 [27]3 years ago

I can tell you about:


- What natura transmutation is

- Which elements suffer natural transmutation

- Some examples of nuclear equation representing natural transmutation



1) Natural transmutation is the transmutation that occurs in nature without intervention of human beings. So, the natural transmutation is the natural decay of elements into other (smaller) elements. The transmutation of the elements consists in the emission of particles (alpha emission, beta emission, positron emission or electron emission) and the obtention of a smaller element.



2) Which elements undergo natural transmutation.


The heavier elements, after lead, are radioactive and so they decay into lighter (smaller) elements. Those elements are unstable due to the relation proton / neutron.   


3) Transmutation equation examples


I131 ----> Xe131 + Beta particle


Ra222 ---> Rn218 + 2He4 (same alpha particle)


90Th234 ----> 89Pa234 + beta particle
 

92U238 ----> 90Th 234 + 2He4   (same alpha particle)

The molar solubility of silver bromide, AgBr in pure water is 0.0007350 mol/L. What is the
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

0.000000540

Explanation:

Step 1: Make an ICE chart for the solution of AgBr

"S" represents the molar solubility of AgBr

        AgBr(s) ⇄ Ag⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                           0             0

C                          +S          +S

E                           S             S

Step 2: Write the expression for the solubility product constant (Ksp)

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Br⁻] = S × S

Ksp = S² = (0.0007350)² = 0.000000540

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic material made by reacting sand (silicon dioxide, SiO2) with powdered carbon at a h
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Percent yield of SiC is 77.0%.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: SiO_{2}+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

Molar mass of SiC = 40.11 g/mol

Molar mass of SiO_{2} = 60.08 g/mol

So, 100.0 kg of SiO_{2} = \frac{100.0\times 10^{3}}{60.08} moles of SiO_{2} = 1664 moles of SiO_{2}

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of SiO_{2} produces 1 mol of SiC

Therefore, 1664 moles of SiO_{2} produce 1664 moles of SiC

Mass of 1664 moles of SiC = (1664\times 40.11)g = 66743g = 66.74 kg (4 sig. fig.)

Percent yield of SiC = [(actual yield of SiC)/(theoretical yield of SiC)]\times 100%

                                 = \frac{51.4kg}{66.74kg}\times 100 %

                                 = 77.0%

Please answer asap! worth 35 points!
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the solution is -35.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of lithiumchloride = 3.00 grams

Volume of water = 100 mL

Change in temperature = 6.09 °C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = 1g/mL * 100 mL = 100 grams

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat

q = m*c*ΔT

with m = the mass of water = 100 grams

with c = the heat capacity = 4.184 J/g°C

with ΔT = the chgange in temperature = 6.09 °C

q = 100 grams * 4.184 J/g°C * 6.09 °C

q =2548.1 J

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles lithiumchloride

Moles LiCl = mass LiCl / Molar mass LiCl

Moles LiCl = 3 grams / 42.394 g/mol

Moles LiCl = 0.071 moles

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate enthalpy of solution

ΔH = 2548.1 J /0.071 moles

ΔH = 35888.7 J/mol = 35.9 kJ/mol (negative because it's exothermic)

The enthalpy of the solution is -35.9 kJ/mol
