When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, a proton is ejected. What element is formed?

Galina-37 [17]

That will make a gold-202 nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.

Step One: Bombard the $\displaystyle ^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ with a neutron $^{1}_{0}n$ . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of $^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ . However, the atomic number will stay the same.

New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
Atomic number is still 80.

$^{202}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} + ^{1}_{0}n \to ^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

Step Two: The $^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg}$ nucleus loses a proton $^{1}_{1}p$ . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.

New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.

Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.

$^{203}_{\phantom{2}80}\text{Hg} \to ^{202}_{\phantom{2}79}\text{Au} + ^{1}_{1}p$ .

Double check the equation:

Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.

A gold-202 nucleus is formed.

Methane CH4 (g) reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. ____________________________________________________

nordsb [41]

Answer: The chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

For a: Methane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water

The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

$CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

For b: Butane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

This is also an example of combustion reaction.

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)$

For c: An aqueous solution of sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce potassium sulfate and water.

When an acid reacts with a base, it leads to the formation of salt and water. This reaction is known as neutralization reaction

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid follows:

$H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O$

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.

What is the 10% energy rule?

Brut [27]

What is the 10% energy rule?

The 10% energy rule means that when energy is passed into the ecosystem from one trophic level into the next, only ten percent energy will be passed on.
