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

When octane (C8H18) is burned in the presence of oxygen, the yield of products (carbon dioxide and water) is 87%. What mass of c
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

14.5g of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of octane with oxygen is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of octane (Molar mass: 114.23g/mol) reacts with 25/2 moles of O₂ (Molar mass 32g/mol) to produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 9 moles of water.</em>

When 21.0 g of octane is burned with 19.0 g of oxygen gas you need to find <em>limiting reactant </em>to find how many moles of products are formed:

Octane: 21.0g ₓ (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.184 moles octane

Oxygen: 19.0g ₓ (1 mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen

For a complete reaction of 0.184 moles of octane you will need:

0.184 moles C₈H₁₈ ₓ (25/2 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₈H₁₈) = <em>2.3 moles of oxygen</em>

As you have just 0.594 moles of oxygen, <em>Oxygen is limiting reactant.</em>

Based on chemical equation, 25/2 of O₂ produce 8 moles of CO₂, that means theoretical yield of CO₂ with 0.594 moles of O₂ is:

0.594 moles O₂ ₓ (8 moles CO₂ / 25/2 moles O₂) = 0.380 moles of CO₂

But, as yield of products is 87%, moles produced of CO₂ are:

0.380 moles of CO₂ ₓ 87% = 0.331 moles CO₂ are produced.

As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ in 0.331 moles is:

0.331 moles CO₂ ₓ (44g / mol) =

<h3>14.5g of CO₂ are produced</h3>

How are atoms arranged in a network solid such as diamond
Murrr4er [49]
The atoms arranged in a network solid such as diamond are being held by covalent bonds which join the atoms tightly together.  A diamond possess a giant molecular geometry where the repeating contains a carbon atom that is bonded covalently to other four carbon atoms. It follows a FCC or face centered cubic crystal structure. Due to the covalent bond present in every chemical bond present, the diamond structure is known as the hardest compound that exist. The number of covalent bonds that is present makes it so strong that the only thing can break a diamond would also be a diamond and nothing else.<span />

What is the pH of a 0.025 M HCl solution?<br> 12.4<br> 1.6<br> 2.5<br> 05
attashe74 [19]

Answer:  pH is 1.6

Explanation: Explanation: HCl is strong acid and it protolyzes totally:

HCl + H2O  ⇒ H3O+ + Cl-

Concentrations are same:  [H3O+] = c(HCl)

pH = - log[H3O+] = - log(0.025) = 1.60
