What does X represent for this transmutation?
96242Cm + X→ 98245Cf + 01n
gamma
+10e
24He
−10e
Answer:
24He
Explanation:
When a nuclide is bombarded with alpha particles, we notice an increase in its mass and charge since an alpha particle has a mass of four and a charge of +2. recall that nuclear equations must be balanced. That is, the masses and charges on the left hand six and the right hand side of the nuclear reaction equation must be exactly the same.
Looking at the nuclear reaction at hand, the total mass on the left hand side has to be 246 while the total charge on the left hand side of the equation will be 98. Coming over to the right hand side, the total masses are also found to be the same as a neutron with no charge and a mass of 1 is produced. Hence the nuclear reaction equation is balanced when an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is substituted for X in the equation.

a) ammonium ion b) sulfur trioxide c) hydrogen cyanide
3. Using formal charge formula (or electronegativity differences), to determine
the following the best structure, OCS, COS or CSO.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Trends in atomic size
Atomic size tends to decrease from left to right across the Periodic Table.
You are adding one electron at a time. the electrons repel each other, so the size should increase.
You are also adding a proton to the nucleus. The additional attraction should pull the electrons closer to the nucleus.
The nuclear pull wins, so the atoms get smaller from left to right
Atomic size increases from top to bottom of a Group.
You are adding electrons to an extra shell, so the size should increase.
You are also adding protons to the nucleus, so the size should decrease.
The size of the outer shell wins, so the atomic size increases going down a Group.
2. Lewis structures
(a) Ammonium ion
N is the central atom. The N atom has the positive charge.
(b) Sulfur trioxide
S is the central atom, with a double bond to each of the three O atoms.

If a buffer has an initial pH of 6.34 and the acid has a Ka of 3.46 × 10-4, what is the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system?
Answer: The ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system is 758 : 1
Explanation:
The dissociation constant for acid = [tex]K_a=3.46\times 10^{-4}[/tex]
pH = 6.34
First we have to calculate the value of [tex]pK_a[/tex].
The expression used for the calculation of [tex]pK_a[/tex] is,
[tex]pK_a=-\log (K_a)[/tex]
Now put the value of [tex]K_a[/tex] in this expression, we get:
[tex]pK_a=-\log (3.46\times 10^{-4})[/tex]
[tex]pK_a=3.46[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system
Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :
[tex]pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:
[tex]6.34=3.46+\log \frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{[\text {conjugate base}]}{[Acid]}=758[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid in the buffer system is 758: 1

Compare and contrast the dynamics of energy transfer between the Eocene Period and the Cryogenian Period. In which period would you say that Earth's system is experiencing a net gain in energy and in which period would you say that Earth's system is experiencing a net loss in energy
Answer:
The Eocene Period is experiencing net gain in energy while Cryogenian Period is experiencing a net loss in energy.
Explanation:
In Eocene Period, the population of mammals such as horses , whales and bats etc were high due to the presence of high amount of food and good atmospheric condition such as high temperature while the population of animals were low in Cryogenian Period due to the presence of very low temperature which experiencing loss of energy. Most of area of the earth consist of icy desert.

Explain the different principles that allow roller coasters to rip and roar around the tracks. In your response, include how energy is transferred back and forth between kinetic and potential.
Answer:
In the roller coasters the potential energy that is given is the gravitational potential energy, which this energy increases its value as the object moves away from the earth, that is to say, the more height the roller coaster acquires the more gravitational potential energy it will have, and Said train where people usually get on the roller coaster will descend or descend with greater acceleration.
This gravitational potential energy once the mountain begins to descend or descend is converted into kinetic energy
Explanation:
This that we wrote above is considering that the roller coaster does not have curved routes but rectilinear, in the case that it had curved routes, a force would be added in addition to those written that is the centripetal force, it is the same force that appears in the centrifuges or dryers of clothes or the same washing machine. This force, the centripetal force is the force that draws a moving object, in a curvilinear path, towards the center of the curvature.

In the second step, iron(lll) oxide and carbon monoxide react to form Iron and carbon dioxide:
Fe203(s) + 3CO(g) arrow 2Fe(s)+ 3CO2(g)
Suppose the yield of the first step is 71.% and the yield of the second step is 72.%. Calculate the mass of oxygen required to make 7.0 kg of iron.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
5.9 kg
Explanation:
We must work backwards from the second step to work out the mass of oxygen.
1. Second step
Mᵣ: 55.84
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂
m/kg: 7.0
(a) Moles of Fe
[tex]\text{Moles of FeO} = \text{7000 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.84 g Fe}} = \text{125 mol Fe}[/tex]
(b) Moles of CO
[tex]\text{Moles of CO} = \text{125 mol Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{2 mol Fe}} = \text{188 mol CO}[/tex]
However, this is the theoretical yield.
The actual yield is 72. %.
We need more CO and Fe₂O₃ to get the theoretical yield of Fe.
(c) Percent yield
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent yield} &=& \dfrac{\text{ actual yield}}{\text{ theoretical yield}} \times 100 \, \%\\\\ 72. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.72 &= &\dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{0.72}\\& = & \textbf{261 mol}\\\\\end{array}[/tex]
We must use 261 mol of CO to get 7.0 kg of Fe.
2. First step
Mᵣ: 32.00
2C + O₂ ⟶ 2CO
n/mol: 261
(a) Moles of O₂
[tex]\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{261 mol CO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol CO}} = \text{131 mol O}_{2}[/tex]
(b) Mass of O₂
[tex]\text{Mass of O}_{2}= \text{131 mol O }_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{4180 g O}_{2}[/tex]
However, this is the theoretical yield.
The actual yield is 71. %.
We need more C and O₂ to get the theoretical yield of CO.
(c) Percent yield
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}71. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.71 &= &\dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{0.71}\\\\& = & \text{5900 g}\\& = & \textbf{5.9 kg}\\\end{array}[/tex]
We need 5.9 kg of O₂ to produce 7.0 kg of Fe.

63.2 g of BaCl 2 are dissolved in enough water to make a 634 mL solution. What is the molarity?
Answer:
0.479 M or mol/L
Explanation:
So Molarity is moles/litres of solution...often written as M=mol/L
So here we are given grams of BaCl2 which we have to convert to moles. To convert to moles of BaCl2 we have to divide 63.2 g BaCl2 by molar mass of BaCl2 which is 208.23 g/mol so you get 63.2/208.23 = 0.3035 moles of BaCl2
Second step is converting the 634mL to litres by simply dividing by 1000 because we know 1 litre has 1000ml so 634/1000 = 0.634L
Now we just plug these guys in our molarity formula M=mol/L
M= 0.3035/0.634 = 0.479 M or mol/L

This means that for every
100 g
of calcium chloride, you get
63.89 g
of chlorine.
As you know, the mass of an ion is approximately equal to the mass of the neutral atom, so you can say that for every
100 g
of calcium chloride, you get
63.89 g
of chloride anions,
Cl

Now, in order to find the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions in the resulting solution, you must determine the mass of chloride anions present in
100 mL
of this solution.
Since you know that
500 mL
of solution contain
0.3469 g
of chloride anions, you can say that
100 mL

0.450 moles of K2SO4 are dissolved in 195.0 mL of water. Calculate the molarity of the solution.
Answer:
2.31M
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mole of K2SO4 = 0.450 mole
Volume of water = 195.0 mL = 195/1000 = 0.195L
Molarity =...?
Molarity is defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. This can be expressed as:
Molarity = mole /Volume
With the above formula we can calculate the molarity of the K2SO4 solution as follow:
Molarity = mole /Volume
Molarity = 0.450/0.195
Molarity = 2.31M

Answer:
The planets themselves are composed of several trillions or quadrillions or more atoms. As far as hard science is concerned, it would be really hard to picture them as electrons. Conclusion: It can be said with a great accuracy that our planets are NOT huge electrons.
Rutherford's experiments showed that the mass of atoms was mostly concentrated in a very small region, with charge equal to the atomic number- the nucleus. He absolutely did not show, nor is it true, that electrons orbit the nucleus as if they were planets. That was a guess people made in trying to figure out how to picture the atom.
