Write a transmutation nuclear equation that represents an example of fission

Chemistry
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He

Explanation:

Nuclei higher than Bi - 92 naturally are radioactive.

In a transmutation reaction, a new element is produced from an existing one due to radioactivity.

Nuclear fission is the radioactive process by which a heavy nucleus spontaneously decays into lighter ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

 One example is the transmutation of uranium into thorium;

         ²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He

Discussion Questions 1. Given the equilibrium equation for a general reaction, A + B  C + D, explain what happens to the reacta
ANTONII [103]

Answer:The equilibrium constant for a given reaction is [concentration of products]/[concentration of reactants].

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant=[concentration of products]/[concentration of reactants]

The concentration of reactant  molecules is maximum at time 0 and it  decreases as the reaction proceeds, The concentration of product molecules increases.At equilibrium the concentration of reactants and products are equal.

All the changes would occur in accordance with the LeChateliers principle.

For the given reaction the following changes would occur:

a When CO is removed from the reaction mixture so the reaction would shift towards right that is in forward direction as we are decreasing the concentration of CO so the system would try to increase the concentration of CO and that can happen by more production of CO.

b Since the above reaction is an endothermic reaction so when we would be adding heat to the system that is when we would increase the temperature  the reaction would shift forwards as  more heat energy is absorbed by reactants  to form more products.

c When more CO₂ is added so more amount of reactants are added to the system so the system would try to decrease the amount of reactants that is CO₂ and hence more amount of products would be formed.The reaction would shift in forward direction.

d Since  this reaction is endothermic in nature so when we remove the heat from reaction hence even less amount of heat is present in the system and so the reaction shift in backward direction as the reaction cannot proceed without enough amount of heat.

This question is about iron three of the raw material added to a blast furnace used to extract iron from henatite are coke hemat
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: The fourth material that is added to the blast furnace is HOT AIR which provides OXYGEN for used for combustion of carbon (Coke).

Explanation:

Iron is the second most abundant metal found in the earth's crust after aluminium. It is not found in the free metallic state but are extracted from rocks which are rich in iron that contains other materials. These are known are iron ores and the most common iron ores are haematite ( Fe2O3).

Iron can be extracted from its ore with the used of blast furnace. The materials used for extraction of iron includes:

--> Coke

--> haematite( iron ore)

--> limestone and

--> Hot air.

The iron ore is first roasted in air so that iron(III)oxide is produced. The iron(III)oxide is then mixed with coke and limestone and heated to a very high temperature. Hot air is introduced into it from the bottom of the furnace. The coke is oxidizes the the oxygen in the hot air blast to liberate carbondioxide.
