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)

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

The amount of heat involved in the synthesis of 1 mole of a compound from its elements, with all substances in their standard st
kvasek [131]
Given:

1 mole of compound synthesized from its elements
Temperature of the substances in their standard states = 25 degrees Celcius

First, gather data from reference books on the standard heats of formation of the elements. Then set up a balanced equation for the reaction. From there, calculate the heat of reaction.

What is the number of moles of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) that is present in 29.22g sample of it?
Liula [17]
There are 0.5 moles of NaCl present in a 29.22g sample.

to find moles of a compound you would look at the periodic table to find the mass. in this case, the mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. now, you divide the sample mass of 29.22g by 58.44 g/mol. the grams will cancel each other out and you’re left with 0.5 mol in that sample

hope this helps!

Which of the following is the best example of a scientific law?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer is :'The gravitational force between two objects is related mathematically to their mass and the distance between them'.

Explanation:

A scientific law is a statement which explains physical phenomena and has been tested multiple times through the correct scientific methods and experimentation. It will give same results and observations after each conduct.

A scientific law comes into picture after the acceptance of a theory which explains or exposes the reason behind any physical phenomena occurrence.

So the best example of scientific law:

The gravitational force between two objects is related mathematically to their mass and the distance between them.
