<u>Answer:</u> 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

The nuclear reaction for the fission of Americium-244 isotope follows:

^{244}_{95}\textrm{Am}\rightarrow ^{134}_{53}\textrm{I}+^{107}_{42}\textrm{Mo}+Y^1_0\textrm{n}

<u>To calculate Y:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

\Rightarrow 244=134+107+(Y\times 1)\\\\\Rightarrow Y=244-241=3

Hence, 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.

There can be three possible answers to this question: the amount of moles of SO₂ gas needed to react with 6.41 mol H₂S, and the amount of S and H₂O gas produced.

Amount of SO₂:
6.41 mol H₂S (1 mol SO₂/2 mol 2 mol H₂S) = <em>3.205 moles SO₂ gas</em>

Amount of S:
6.41 mol H₂S (3 mol S/2 mol 2 mol H₂S) =<em> 9.615 moles S solid</em>

Amount of H₂O:
6.41 mol H₂S (2 mol H₂O/2 mol 2 mol H₂S) = <em>6.41 moles H₂O gas</em>

How would each of the following procedural errors affect the results to be expected in this experiment? Give your reasoning in e
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a) if the liquid is not vaporized completely, then the condensed vapor in the flask contains the air which is initially occupied before the liquid is heated. When calculating the molar mass of the vapor the moles of air which are initially present are not excluded, so that the molar mass of the vapor would be an increase in value.

b) While weighing the condensed vapor, the flask should be dried. If the weighing flask is not dried then the water which is layered on the surface of the flask is also added to the mass of the vapor. Therefore, the mass of the vapor that is calculated would be increase.

c) When condensing the vapor, the stopper should not be removed from the flask, because the vapor will escape from the flask and a small amount of vapor will condense in the flask. Therefore, the mass of the condensed vapor would be In small value.

d) If all the liquid is vaporized, when the flask is removed before the vapor had reached the temperature of boiling water, then the boiling

temperature of that liquid would be lower than that of the boiling temperature of the water.Therefore, the liquid may have more volatility.

A turtle moves at a speed of 1.0km/h. How fast is the turtle moving in meter per second (m/s)?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.28m/s

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit of time. The speed of the turtle is 1.0km/h. Thus, to find the speed in m/s, we need to convert km to m (1km is 1000m), and h to s (1h = 3600s).

<em>Converting units:</em>

1.0km/h * (1000m / 1km) * (1h / 3600s) = 0.28m/s.

The speed of the turtle in meter per second is 0.28m/s

The successive ionization energies of a certain element are I1= 577.9 kJ/mol, I2 = 1820 kJ/mol, I3= 2750 kJ/mol, I4 = 11,600 kJ/
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from a gaseous atom to form a gaseous ion.

The difference between the third and fourth ionization energies is great. This indicates a group III element which is in the third period.

This element is Aluminium (Al)
