Balancing nuclear equations is slightly different than balancing chemical equations. The major difference is that in nuclear rea

ctions we must account for protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as write out the symbols for various chemical elements. In a nuclear equation, the products and reactants are symbolized as AZX where X is the chemical symbol for the element, A is the mass number, and Z is the atomic number. There are two main rules to remember when balancing nuclear equations:
The total of the superscripts (mass numbers, A) in the reactants and products must be the same.
The total of the subscripts (atomic numbers, Z) in the reactants and products must be the same

What is the value of A in the following nuclear reaction?

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +AZX

Answer:

The correct answer is - 4.

Explanation:

As we known and also given that the total of the superscripts that is mass numbers, A in the reactants and products must be the same.The mass of products A can understand and calculated by this -

The sum of the product mass number of products = mass of reactant

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +AZX is the equation,

Solution:

Mass of reactants = 237

Mass of products are - Pa =233 and A = ?

233 + A = 237

A = 237 - 233

A = 4

So the equation will be:

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +4He2 (atomic number Z = 2 ∵ difference in the atomic number of reactant and products)

A piece of unknown metal weighs 348g. When the metal piece absorbs 6.64kj of heat , its temperature increases from 24.4C to 43.6
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

This metal could be the aluminium with a specific heat of H = 993 \frac{J}{kgC}

Explanation:

A pie of unknown metal presents a mass (M) of 348 g. This metal is heated using energy (E) of 6.64 kJ and the temperature increases from T1 =24.4 to T2 =43.6°C. We can calculate the specific heat (H) of this metal as follows

H = \frac{E}{M*(T2-T1)}

We can replace previously presented data in this equation. After simplifying and converting to adequated units, we found that

H = \frac{6640 J}{0.348 Kg*(43.6-24.4) C} =\frac{6640 J}{6.686 KgC}

Finally, the specific heat of this metal is

H = 993 \frac{J}{kgC}

The aluminium could be the metal, its specific heat is similar to that found in this problem.

Finally,  we can conclude that this metal could be the aluminium with a specific heat of H = 993 \frac{J}{kgC}

Please give me the answer please
zepelin [54]

Answer:

A. 30cm³

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

<em>1 mol of calcium carbonate reacts with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mol of CO₂</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles. With the moles we can find limiting reactant and the moles of CO₂ produced. Using PV = nRT we can find the volume of the gas:

<em>Moles CaCO₃ -Molar mass: 100.09g/mol-</em>

1.00g * (1mol / 100.09g) = 9.991x10⁻³ moles

<em>Moles HCl:</em>

50cm³ = 0.0500dm³ * (0.05 mol / dm³) = 2.5x10⁻³ moles

For a complete reaction of 2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl there are necessaries:

2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl * (1mol CaCO₃ / 2mol HCl) = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CaCO₃. As there are 9.991x10⁻³ moles, HCl is limiting reactant.

The moles produced of CO₂ are:

2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl * (1mol CO₂ / 2mol HCl) = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CO₂

Using PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure = 1atm assuming STP</em>

<em>V volume in L</em>

<em>n moles = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CO₂</em>

<em>R gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T = 273.15K at STP</em>

<em />

V = nRT / P

1.25x10⁻³ moles * 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K / 1atm = V

0.028L = V

28cm³ = V

As 28cm³ ≈ 30cm³

Right option is:

<h3>A. 30cm³</h3>

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and what did he think would happen n
Leya [2.2K]

It should be noted that when Brian first sorted out his thoughts, the first thing that he thought would happen next is that he would probably be rescued that day.

It should be noted that in Chapter 5 of Hatchet, Brian wakes up in the forest and then, he realized that he was desperately thirsty.

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and that he would probably be rescued that day. He believed that he was going to wither up and die if he doesn't get anything that he'll drink.

An empty beaker weighs 25.91 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 333.85 g. Wh
Finger [1]

Answer:

The beaker holds 307.94  mL

Explanation:

As we know that the volume that beaker hold is the volume of water that occupied by it.

For this first we have to find mass of the water in the beaker

This can be calculated by the subtraction of beaker's weight from the weight of beaker and water.

     weight of water (m) = total weight - weight of beaker

Empty weight of beaker = 25.91 g

Weight of beaker with water = 333.85 g

Weight of water = 333.85 - 25.91 = 307.94 g

Density of water = 1 g/mL

We have

      Mass = Volume x density

      307.94  = Volume x 1

      Volume = 307.94  mL

The beaker holds 307.94  mL
