Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope, 23793np, decays by emitting one alpha particle, one beta particle, and one gamma ray. What is the new atom formed from this decay?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The given isotope of Neptunium is ^(237) _(93) Np

Alpha decay of an isotope results in daughter nuclide with mass number less by 4 units and atomic number less by 2 units than the parent isotope.

Alpha decay of Neptunium-237 can be represented as:

^(237) _(93) Np-->^(233)_(91) Pa+^(4) _(2) He

Beta decay of the above formed protactinium nuclide can be represented as:

^(233)_(91)Pa-->^(233) _(92) U+^(0)_(-1)e

Gamma decay releases only energy in the form of gamma rays, the nuclide remains the same.

^(233)_(92)U-->^(233)_(92)U+γ

The new atom formed after the given decays is ^(233)_(92)U

What is the total number of moles of C that must completely react to produce 2.0 moles of C2H6?
(1) 1.0 mol (3) 3.0 mol
(2) 2.0 mol (4) 4.0 mol

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is option 4.

Explanation:

2C+3H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

According to the reaction, 1 mol of C_2H_6 is obtained from 2 moles of C gives

Then, 2 moles of C_2H_6 will be obtained from:

(2)/(1)* 2 moles of C =4 moles

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

The answer is (4) 4.0 mol. This is a stoichiometry problem. You start with 2.0 mol of C2H6 and obtain the moles of C by multiplying 2.0 by the mole ratio, in this case 2. 2.0*2=4.0mol.

25.0 g of barium hydroxide is dissolved in 120.0g of water. What is the morality?

Answers

Molarity: M = #moles of solute / liters of solution

# moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass calculation

Barium hydroxide = Ba (OH)2

Atomic masses
Ba = 137.4 g/mol
O=16 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
Molar mass of Ba (OH)2 = 137.4 g/mol + 2*16g/mol + 2*1 g/mol = 171.4 g/mol

# mol = 25.0g/171.4 g/mol = 0.146 mol

For the volume of water use the fact that the density is 1g/ml., so 120 g = 120 ml = 0,120 liters.

M = 0.146mol / 0.120 liters = 1.22 mol/liter

Why does sodium form a 1+ ion but magnesium forms a 2+ ion

Answers

because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge

The normal pH of surface sea water is _____. 5.0 6.0 7.0 9.0

Answers

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that sea water contains a large amount of common salt, that is, sodium chloride (NaCl). This salt is basic in nature.

Since, it is also known that species which have pH equals to 7 are basic in nature. Species which have pH less than 7 are acidic in nature and species which have pH greater than 7 are basic in nature.

Hence, due to the presence of common salt in sea water its surface is basic in nature.

Therefore, we can conclude that the normal pH of surface sea water is 9.0.

The PH level of the surface of the water is 9.0

Answers

Answer:

Second order

Δ[ClO⁻]/Δt = -  4.183 x 10⁻⁴ M/min

Explanation:

Given the data:

Experiment #         [ClO–] (M)   Initial Rate of Formation of ClO3– (M/min)

         1                      10.452                     1.048 x 10⁻⁴

         2                     20.903                    4.183 x 10⁻⁴

we need to determine the order of the reaction with respect to ClO⁻.

We know the rate law for this reaction will have the form:

Rate = k [ClO⁻]^n

where n is the order of the reaction. Thus, what we need to do is to study the dependence of the initial rate on n for the experiment.

If the reaction were zeroth order the rate would not change, so we can eliminate n= 0

If the reaction were first order, doubling the concentration of   [ClO–] , as it was done exactly in experiment # 2, the initial rate should have doubled, which is not the case.

If the reaction were second order n: 2, doubling the concentration of  [ClO–] , should quadruple the initial rate of formation of ClO3–, which is what it is observed experimentally. Therefore the reaction is second order respect to ClO–.

The initial rate of consumption of ClO⁻ is the same as the rate of formation of ClO₃⁻ since:

Δ = - Δ[ClO⁻]/Δt =  + Δ[ClO₃⁻]/Δt = + 1/2 [Cl⁻] /Δt

where t is the time.

from the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation.

- Δ[ClO⁻]/Δt =  + Δ[ClO₃⁻]/Δt  = + 1/2 [Cl⁻ ] = rate

Δ[ClO⁻]/Δt = -  4.183 x 10⁻⁴ M/min
