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)

How many moles of chromium III nitrate are produced When chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead for nitrate to produce chromium
Pepsi [2]

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Typically, the oxidation state of Pb in lead nitrate tend to be +2. In other words, Pb in lead nitrate tends to exist as \text{Pb}^{2+} ions. The formula for a nitrate ion is {\text{NO}_3}^{-}. The charge on each of the nitrate ion is -1. The charge on the two ions should balance. As a result, each \text{Pb}^{2+} ion in lead nitrate would pair up with two {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ions. The formula for lead nitrate will be \text{Pb}({\text{NO}_3})_2. Each formula unit of lead nitrate will contain one \text{Pb}^{2+} ion and two {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ions.

The "III" in the name "chromium (III) nitrate" is a Roman Numeral. It indicates that the oxidation state of Cr in chromium (III) nitrate is +3. The Cr in that compound will exist as \text{Cr}^{3+}. Similarly, each \text{Cr}^{3+} will pair up with three {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ions. The formula for chromium (III) nitrate will be \text{Cr}(\text{NO}_3})_3. Each formula unit of chromium (III) nitrate will contain one {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ion and three {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ions.

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will contain 0.85 × 2 = 1.7 moles of {\text{NO}_3}^{-} ions. Those nitrate ions will end up in 1.7 / 3 = 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate. As a result, the reaction will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.
