C- it emitted an alpha particle in a nuclear reaction (just took the edg test)

mr_godi [17]3 years ago

<span>During a nuclear reaction, an atom must emit an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons (positively charged) and 2 neutrons (neutrally charged). Thus, the alpha particle has a charge of +2 (there are no electrons, which are negatively charged, to balance out the two protons). When an atom emits an alpha particle, it will lose this particle, thus losing 2 protons and 2 neutrons as well. Since the atom in the equation goes from 84 protons to 82, and 86 neutrons to 84, it lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons, indicating that it emitted an alpha particle.</span>

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia. How many liters of hydrogen gas at 95kPa and 15∘C are required to prod
viktelen [127]

Answer:

222.30 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 100 g of ammonia (NH₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NH₃ = 100 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3

= 17 g/mol

Mole of NH₃ =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of NH₃ = 100 / 17

Mole of NH₃ = 5.88 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Hydrogen needed to produce 5.88 moles of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Therefore, Xmol of H₂ is required to p 5.88 moles of NH₃ i.e

Xmol of H₂ = (3 × 5.88)/2

Xmol of H₂ = 8.82 moles

Finally, we shall determine the volume (in litre) of Hydrogen needed to produce 100 g (i.e 5.88 moles) of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 95 KPa

Temperature (T) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

Number of mole of H₂ (n) = 8.82 moles

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 KPa.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

95 × V = 8.82 × 8.314 × 288

95 × V = 21118.89024

Divide both side by 95

V = 21118.89024 / 95

V = 222.30 L

Thus the volume of Hydrogen needed for the reaction is 222.30 L

At what pH range bayer process operate? and why?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Bayer process is industrial method of the refining of the bauxite to produce alumina which is aluminum oxide.

As alumina is amphoteric in nature, it exhibits a higher solubility at both the extremes of pH range, it is possible to dissolve alumina in low as well as in high pH solutions.

Dissolution of the alumina at high pH is well recognized in Bayer process. Bauxite is digested in very <u>high pH solution (> 13)  of alkali</u> like sodium hydroxide at temperature of about 150–250°C and pressure at 20 atm. <u>This is done so that the dissolved alumina is separated from rest of insoluble bauxite minerals. </u>

Breeder reactors are used to convert the nonfissionable nuclide U-238 to a fissionable product. Neutron capture by the U-238 is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Pu-239

Explanation:

Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an  electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:

U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 +  ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 +  ₋₁⁰β
