What starts a convection current in the mantle?

Chemistry

Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates.The temperature difference between the upper and lower boundaries of the mantle requires heat transfer to occur.

Part complete When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in the formation
nikdorinn [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba} and that of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier nuclei breaks down in two or more smaller nuclei.

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

  • For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 3

A = 139

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

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

92 + 0 = Z + 36 + 0

Z = 56

The isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{139}\textrm{Ba}

  • For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

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

92 + 0 = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

The isotopic symbol of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

Hence, the isotopic symbol of barium is _{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba} and that of strontium is _{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}

A 11.97g sample of NaBr contains 22.34 % Na by mass. Considering the law of constant composition (definite proportions), how man
kap26 [50]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2.125 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We have;

  • Mass of NaBr sample is 11.97 g
  • % composition by mass of Na in the sample is 22.34%

We are required to determine the mass of 9.51 g of a NaBr sample.

  • Based on the law of of constant composition, a given sample of a compound will always contain the sample percentage composition of a given element.

In this case,

  • A sample of 11.97 g of NaBr contains 22.34% of Na by mass
  • Therefore;

A sample of 9.51 g of NaBr will also contain 22.345 of Na by mass

  • But;

% composition of an element by mass = (Mass of element ÷ mass of the compound) × 100

  • Therefore;

Mass of the element = (% composition of an element × mass of the compound) ÷ 100

Therefore;

Mass of sodium = (22.34% × 9.51 g) ÷ 100

                         = 2.125 g

Thus, the mass of sodium in 9.51 g of NaBr is 2.125 g

Which sample contains the largest number of oxygen atoms? Select one: a. 8.0 g of carbon dioxide b. 8.0 g of potassium chlorate
adell [148]

The sample with the largest number of oxygen atoms will be calcium perchlorate.

<h3>Number of atoms in a compound</h3>

Since we are not looking at the number of moles, the mass of the compounds has no bearing on the number of atoms of oxygen.

  • The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO_2. Thus, it has 2 atoms of oxygen.
  • The chemical formula for potassium chlorate is KClO_3. Thus, it has 3 oxygen atoms.
  • The chemical formula for calcium perchlorate is Ca(ClO_4)_2. Thus, it has 8 atoms of oxygen.
  • The chemical formula for sodium hydroxide is NaOH. Thus, it has 1 atom of oxygen.

Therefore, the compound with the largest number of oxygen atoms is calcium perchlorate.
