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

Smooth muscle myosin is a motor protein that plays a crucial role in the contraction of smooth muscle. If this protein has a mol
zysi [14]

Answer: Thus the mass, in grams, of 27 moles of smooth muscle myosin is 12960000 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass, occupies 22.4 L at STP  contains avogadro's number (6.023\times 10^{23}) of particles.

Molecular mass of protein = 480,000 g/mol

Thus 1 mole of protein weighs = 480,000 g

So 27 moles of protein weighs = \frac{480,000}{1}\times 27=12960000g

Thus the mass, in grams, of 27 moles of smooth muscle myosin is 12960000 grams

If a car can go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50
tangare [24]

Answer:

87.5 mi/hr

Explanation:

Because a = Δv / Δt (a = vf - vi/ Δt), we need to find the acceleration first to know the change in velocity so we can determine the final velocity.

vf = 60 mi/hr

vi = 0 mi/hr

Δt = 8 secs

a = vf - vi/ Δt

= 60 mi/hr - 0 mi/hr/ 8 secs

= 60 mi/hr / 8 secs

= 7.5 mi/hr^2

Now that we know the acceleration of the car is 7. 5 mi/hr^2, we can substitute it in the acceleration formula to find the final velocity when the initial velocity is 50 mi/hr after 5 secs.

vi = 50 mi/ hr

Δt = 5 secs

a = 7.5 mi/ hr^2

a = vf - vi/ Δt

7.5 = vf - 50 mi/hr / 5 secs

37.5 = vf - 50

87.5 mi/ hr = vf
