<u>Answer:</u> The isotope produced after the transmutation process of Cf-249 and C-12 is _{104}^{257}\textrm{Rf}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transmutation is defined as the process where 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 Californium-249 nucleus with Carbon-12 nucleus follows:

_{98}^{249}\textrm{Cf}+_6^{12}\textrm{C}\rightarrow _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}+4_0^1\textrm{n}

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

249 + 12 = A + 4

A = 257

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

98 + 6 = Z + 0

Z = 104

Hence, the isotope produced after the transmutation process of Cf-249 and C-12 is _{104}^{257}\textrm{Rf}

#6).
Every 1,000 mL makes 1 L
How many 1,000mL are there in  2,800 mL ?
That's division.
                         (2,800 mL) / (1,000 mL) = <em>2.8 L</em>

#7).
The 'perimeter' means the 'distance all the way around'.
You have to know that both sides of a rectangle are the same length,
and also the top and bottom are the same length.
So the perimeter of this rectangle is

   (2 yd) + (4.5 yd) + (2.yd) + (4.5 yd) = 13 yd .

Oops.  The problem wants to know the perimeter in feet.
So you have to know that each yard is the same as 3 feet.
In order to find the number of feet in 13 yards, you have to
take 3 feet 13 <em><u>times</u></em> .

       (3 feet) times (13)  =  <em>39 feet .</em>

#8).
For this one, you have to know that every 36 inches makes 1 yard.

How many 36 inches are there in 48 inches ?
That's division.
                         (48 inches) / (36inches)  =  <em>1 and 1/2 yards</em> .

#9).
For this problem, you have to know how to handle a mixed number,
and you also have to know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

Add up the fruit:

             (3-1/2 pounds) + (4 pounds) + 2 pounds)  =  <em><u>9-1/2 pounds</u></em>

Now, remember that each pound is the same as 16 ounces.  So if you
want to find the number of ounces in  9-1/2 pounds, you have to take
16 ounces  9-1/2 times .

     (16 ounces) times (9-1/2) = <em>152 ounces</em>.
___________________________________

#10).
This one is just adding up some numbers.  But after you finish doing that, you have to know that  1,000 meters is called '1 kilometer' .

Add up the distances that Omar ran:

   (1,000 meters) + (1,625 meters) + (1,500 meters)  =  <em><u>4,125 meters</u></em>

The problem wants to know how many kilometers this is, so you have to figure out how many '1,000 meters' fit into 4,125 meters.

That's division.

   (4,125 meters) / (1,000 meters)  =  <em>4.125 kilometers</em>

7. Calculate moles of H2 needed to form 2.25 moles HCl in the reaction H2 + Cl2==&gt;2HCl
mart [117]

Answer:

1.125 moles

Explanation:

2mole of HCl produced 1mole of H2

2.25moles of HCl will produce x moles

cross multiply

2x=™1×2.25

x= 2.25÷2

x=1.125mole
