<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}

How has the taxonomy of organisms changed over time
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

When scientist find new species that may have to change classification systems in order to accommodate them. DNA sequencing has also let us find out more about evolutionary relationships. The more recent the common ancestor, the more closely related the two species are.

A 6 kg rock is sitting at the edge of a 100 m tall cliff. What is the potential energy of the rock with respect to the ground?
Hatshy [7]
Potential energy can be calculated by the formula Pe=mgh. Plug in your values:

Pe=mgh
Pe=(6 kg)(9.8m/s^2)(100 m)
Pe=5880 kg x m^2/s^2, or 5880 Joules

The gram formula mass of NH4Cl is(1) 22.4 g/mole (3) 53.5 g/mole(2) 28.0 g/mole (4) 95.5 g/mole
g100num [7]
The answer is (3) 53.5 g/mol. The gram formula mass means that the mass of one mol compound. 1N=14, 4H=4, 1Cl=35.5. So the gram formula mass of NH4Cl=14+4+35.5=53.5 g/mol.
