Which one of the following descriptions relating to nuclear reactions is correct?

monitta

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.

Calculate the mass of 25,000 molecules of nitrogen gas. (1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules)

Ainat [17]

Hey there!

Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol

Therefore:

28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2

( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2

mass N2 = ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) / ( 6.02*10²³ )

mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³

mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g

Hope that helps!

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting Electrons.

Explanation:

The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction using the balanced chemical equation and the concentrations of the substance

Oliga [24]

Answer:

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Explanation:

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

Equilibrium concentration of reactants :

$[CO]=0.0590 M,[H_2O]=0.00600 M$

Equilibrium concentration of products:

$[CO_2]=0.0410 M,[H_2]=0.0410 M$

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$

$K_c=\frac{0.0410 M\times 0.0410 M}{0.0590M\times 0.00600 M}$

$K_c=4.75$

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Compare 1 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and 1 mole of F2. (a) Which has the largest number of molecules? Explain why. (b) Which has

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
