Answer:

The bombarding particle is a Proton

Explanation:

A Nuclear transmutation reaction occurs when radioactive element decay, usually converting them from one element/isotope into another element. Transmutation is the process which causes decay, generally, alpha or beta.

¹⁶₈O(P,alpha) ¹³₇N, can be written as

¹⁶₈O + x goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He

Where x can be anything, balancing the equation in order to give us the correct amount of proton number and nucleus number

16 + x = 13 + 4

x = 17 – 16 = 1, Hence we can say that x = ¹₁P

<u>¹⁶₈O + ¹₁P goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He</u>

Here we can clearly see the bombarding particle is ¹₁P (proton). The ejected particle being ⁴₂He which is also known as an alpha particle

In the laboratory, hydrogen gas is usually made by the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) How many liters
IrinaK [193]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of zinc = 5.566 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{5.566g}{65.4g/mol}=0.0851mol

For the given chemical reaction:

Zn(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow H_2(g)+ZnCl_2(aq.)

As, HCl is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

So, 0.0851 moles of zinc will produce = \frac{1}[1}\times 0.0851=0.0851mol of hydrogen gas

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water = (752 - 18.65) mmHg = 733.35 mmHg

V = Volume of the hydrogen gas

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0851 moles

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = 21^oC=[21+273]K=294K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

733.35mmHg\times V=0.0851mol\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=\frac{0.0851\times 62.3637\times 294}{733.35}=2.13L

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

Atomic weight is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. atomic weight is equal to the number of protons and
dlinn [17]
Atomic weight is actually calculated by the sum of protons and neutrons of that atom. It is not equal to the number. You must add them for the result

If a body with a mass of 4 kg is moved by a force of 20 N, what’s is the rate of acceleration ?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The rate of acceleration is 5.

Explanation:

In order to calculate acceleration we need to divide the force by the mass.

Acceleration = net force/mass

In this case, it would be 20/4. Simplify that and we get 5.
