Which of the following is not a balanced nuclear equation?

Chemistry

Answer:

¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

Explanation:

To know which equation is unbalanced, we shall compare the mass number and atomic number of the reactant and product together. This is illustrated below:

¹²¹₅₀Sn —> ⁰₋₁β + ¹²¹₅₁Sb

121 = 0 + 121

121 = 121

50 = –1 + 51

50 = 51

Thus the above equation is balanced

¹⁹⁰₇₈Pt —> ¹⁸⁶₇₆Os + ⁴₂α

190 = 186 + 4

190 = 190

78 = 76 + 2

78 = 78

Thus, the above equation is balanced

¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

10 = 10 + 0

10 = 10

4 = 3 + (–1)

4 = 3 – 1

4 = 2

Thus, the above equation is unbalanced.

²³⁸₉₂U —> ⁴₂α + ²³⁴₉₀Th

238 = 4 + 234

238 = 238

92 = 2 + 90

92 = 92

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only ¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

Is unbalanced.

The boiling points for the homonuclear diatomic molecules in the halogen family are 85 K, 238 K, 332 K, 457 K and 610 K. Which s
patriot [66]

Answer:

Cl_{2} has boiling point of 238 K

Explanation:

Boiling point depends on different intermolecular force such as molecular wight, dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding, ionic attraction force.

Homonuclear diatomic molecules are covalent non-polar molecules and thereby free from dipole-dipole attraction force, hydrogen bonding and ionic interaction forces.

Hence, boiling point of homonuclear diatomic molecules depends solely on molecular weight.

We know, higher the molecular weight of a molecule, higher will be its boiling point. This phenomenon can be realized in terms of increasing london dispersion force with increase in molecular weight.

Decreasing order of molecular weight of halogen molecules :

I_{2} > Br_{2} > Cl_{2} > F_{2}

So, decresing order of boiling point of halogen molecules:

I_{2} > Br_{2} > Cl_{2} > F_{2}

Hence Cl_{2} has boiling point of 238 K

Two atoms that are isotopes of one another must have the same number of what? Electrons, All Particles, Protons, or Neutrons
emmainna [20.7K]

atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles; neutrons, protons and electrons

atomic number is the number of protons which is characteristic for the element. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.

mass number is the sum of the neutrons and protons.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. since they are the same element number of protons are the same but number of neutrons vary.

therefore 2 isotopes are of the same element so they have the same number of protons.

A 60.0 g block of iron that has an initial temperature of 250. °C and 60.0 g bloc of gold that has an initial temperature of 45.
Maslowich

Answer:

The final temperature at the equilibrium is 204.6 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of iron = 60.0 grams

Initial temperature = 250 °C

Mass of gold = 60.0 grams

Initial temperature of gold = 45.0 °C

The specific heat capacity of iron = 0.449 J/g•°C

The specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g•°C.

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature at the equilibrium

Heat lost = Heat gained

Qlost = -Qgained

Qiron = -Qgold

Q=m*c*ΔT

m(iron) * c(iron) *ΔT(iron) = -m(gold) * c(gold) *ΔT(gold)

⇒with m(iron) = the mass of iron = 60.0 grams

⇒with c(iron) = the specific heat of iron = 0.449 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(iron)= the change of temperature of iron = T2 - T1 = T2 - 250.0°C

⇒with m(gold) = the mass of gold= 60.0 grams

⇒with c(gold) = the specific heat of gold = 0.128 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(gold) = the change of temperature of gold = T2 - 45.0 °C

60.0 *0.449 * (T2 - 250.0) = -60.0 * 0.128 * (T2 - 45.0 )

26.94 * (T2 - 250.0) = -7.68 * (T2 - 45.0)

26.94T2 - 6735 = -7.68T2 + 345.6

34.62T2 = 7080.6

T2 = 204.5 °C

The final temperature at the equilibrium is 204.6 °C

Please help me and thank you
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.
