1) Conversion of an isotope one chemical element or an isotope into another chemical element is called as nuclear transmutation.
<span>
2) In a nuclear transmutation reactions</span> can be achieved either due to radioactive decay or due to nuclear reactions.
3) In this technique, it is possible to convert a stable element into radioactive atom by bombarding in with high speed particles. The initial stable nuclei is referred as parent nuclei, the fast moving particle is referred as projectile while new element which is formed is called as daughter element.
4) In the present reaction:
<span>1 1 H+ 1 0 n -> 2 1 H
1 1H is a parent nuclei which is bombarded with the fast moving projectile
(1 0 n) to generate a new daughter nuclei (2 1H). </span>
The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.
It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.
It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.
Answer:
Explanation:
Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.
The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:
Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:
The net equation is then:
However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:
Actual anode half-equation:
Actual cathode half-equation:
Actual net reaction:
Answer:
It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
