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

Can we used glass beaker instead of plastic cup for the calorimeter experiments?
Mice21 [21]
No, because plastic cups can be dissolved by organic compounds. Moreover, they are easily melted so a highly exothermic reaction can not be studied using them.

Which of the following would have the highest buffer capacity?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

Buffer capacity refers to the amount of a strong acid or base required per liter of the buffer to change its pH by one. This amount is directly related to the concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair in the buffer since the buffer pair neutralizes the strong acid or base.

Thus, the highest buffer capacity is found in the solution that has the highest concentration of the conjugate acid-base pair, which is 1.25 M HCO₃⁻ / 1.25 M CO₃²⁻ .

A solution of barium nitrate has 61.2g of barium nitrate in 1 liter of solution. How many mg of barium are there in 7.5 quarts
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

220.44g Ba²⁺ ions in solution

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of barium nitrate = 61.2g

Volume of solution = 1 liter

Unkown:

Mass of barium in 7.5quarts of solution?

Solution

We must first convert quarts to its liter equivalence:

                    1 quarts = 0.95 liter

                   7.5 quarts = 0.95 x 7.5; 7.125liter

Now, let us find the mass of barium nitrate in a solution of 7.125liter:

        Given:

            1 liter of solution contains 61.2g of barium nitrate:

          7.125 liter will contain  7.125 x 61.2 = 436.05g of barium nitrate.

The formula of the compound is Ba(NO₃)₂:

  In solution we have  Ba²⁺ + NO₃⁻

                Ba(NO₃)₂ → Ba²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

 

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = \frac{mass of Ba(NO₃)₂}{Molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂}

Molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 137 + 2[14 + 3(16)] = 271g/mol

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = \frac{436.05}{271} = 1.609mole

      1 mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ will produce 1 mole of Ba²⁺ ions in solution

    therefore, 1.609mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ will also yield 1.609mole of Ba²⁺ ions in solution

Mass of Ba²⁺ ions = Number of moles of Ba²⁺ ions  x molar mass of Ba²⁺ ions

Mass of Ba²⁺ ions = 1.609 x 137 = 220.44g
