Write a balanced equation for: (a) alpha decay of gold-173

1 answer:

8 0

The element gold has 32 isotopes, ranging from A =173 to A = 204. during alpha decay Au will loose 2 in atomic number and 4 in mass number . it will form a iridium isotope and helium . according to the above statement, the balanced equation for the alpha decay of gold 173 will be given as below. 173 169 4 79 Au-------------->77 Ir + 2He

List the following compounds in decreasing electronegativity difference. cl2 hcl nacl

Mkey [24]

Based on Pauling Scale, electro negativity of Cl = 3.2, Na = 0.9 and H = 2.1

Thus, Electronegativity difference  in $Cl_{2}$ = 3.2 -3.2 = 0
Electronegativity difference  in NaCl = 3.2-0.9 = 2.3
Similarly, Electronegativity difference  in HCl = 3.2 - 2.1 = 1.1

Thus, among the listed molecules following is the decreasing order of electronegativity difference: NaCl> HCl > $Cl_{2}$

Which of the following statements is (are) true about enzyme-catalyzed reactions? a. The reaction is faster than the same reacti

Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Enzyme-catalyzed reaction :

Enzyme act as a biological catalyst and the role of catalyst is to increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Most of the chemical reactions are slow in the absence of enzyme but in the presence of enzyme, the reaction become faster. That means the Enzyme accelerate the rate of reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme.

The nuclear equation is incomplete. Superscript 239 Subscript 94 Baseline P u + Superscript 1 Subscript 0 Baseline n yields Supe

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The correct option is the first option

Explanation:

The equation described in the question is shown below

²³⁹₉₄Pu +¹₀n ⇒ ¹⁰⁰₄₀Zr + blank + 2¹₀n

This equation is a nuclear fission because it involves the splitting of a heavy nucleus, Plutonium (Pu), into smaller nuclei, Zirconium (Zr) and an unknown nuclei.

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed hence in other to get the missing atom, we must know the total number of subscripts (mass number) and superscripts (atomic number) on both sides.

The total mass number on the reactant side is 239 + 1 = 240

The total atomic number on the reactant side is 94 + 0 = 94

While, The total mass number on the product side is 100 + 2(1) = 102

The total atomic number on the product side is 40 + 2(0) = 40

To determine the missing atom, you subtract the the total atomic number of the product from that on the reactant side; 94 - 40 = 54

The atom with the atomic number 54 is Xenon,

To determine the mass number of the xenon isotope involved, you subtract the the total mass number of the product from that on the reactant side; 240 - 102 = 138.

Hence, the particle that completes the equation is ¹³⁸₅₄Xe, the first option

An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.
