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

Which formula equation represents the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide?
Leni [432]

Answer:

S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g)

Upper S (s) plus upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow with delta above upper S upper O subscript 2 (g).

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Sulfur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide

Sulphur = S

Oxygen = O2

Sulfur dioxide = SO2

So we have;

S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g)

The crrect option is option A. Upper S (s) plus upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow with delta above upper S upper O subscript 2 (g).

How do ionic bonds form between atoms?
rosijanka [135]
Ionic bonds result from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, which form when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

A student performed a serial dilution on a stock solution of 1.33 M NaOH. A 1.0 mL aliquot of the stock NaOH (ms) was added to 9
serg [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.33 x 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

The concentration of the stock solution is: C= 1.33 M

In the first dilution, the student added 1 ml of stock solution to 9 ml of water. The total volume of the solution is 1 ml + 9 ml = 10 ml. So, the first diluted concentration is:

C₁= 1.33 M x 1 ml/10 ml = 1.33 M x 1/10 = 0.133 M

The second dilution is performed on C₁. The student added 1 ml of 0.133 M solution to 9 ml of water. Again, the total volume is 1 ml + 9 ml = 10 ml. The second diluted concentration is:

C₂= 0.133 M x 1 ml/10 ml = 0.133 M x 1/10= 0.0133 M

Since the student repeated the same dilution process 3 times more (for a total of 5 times), we have to multiply 5 times the initial concentration by the factor 1/10:

Final concentration = initial concentration x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10

                                = initial concentration x (1/10)⁵

                                = 1.33 M x 1 x 10⁻⁵

                                = 1.33 x 10⁻⁵ M
