<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.
The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:
The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
Answer:
b) the reaction proceeds to a new equilibrium in the direction that offsets the change.
Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system experiences a constraint such as a change in pressure, temperature or concentration, the system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint.
This simply means that when temperature, concentration or pressure is changed, a new equilibrium position is reached in order to offset the changes in the system.
Answer:
Explanation:
We need to use the formula for heat of vaporization.
Identify the variables.
- The heat absorbed by the evaporating water is the <u>latent heat of vaporization. </u>For water, that is 2260 Joules per gram.
- Q is the energy, in this problem, 50,000 Joules.
- m is the mass, which is unknown.
Substitute the values into the formula.
We want to find the mass. We must isolate the variable, m.
m is being multiplied by 2260 J/g. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2260 J/g.
Divide. Note that the Joules (J) will cancel each other out.
Round to the nearest whole number. The 1 in the tenth place tells us to leave the number as is.
The mass is about 22 grams, so choice B is correct.
Answer:
The Gulf Stream is caused by a large system of circular currents and powerful winds, called an oceanic gyre. There are five oceanic gyres on Earth. The Gulf Stream is part of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. The ocean is constantly in motion, moving water from place to place via currents
