Answer:

$\large \boxed{28 \, \% }$

Explanation:

magnesium + nitrogen ⟶ Product

13 g 5 g

Mass of product = 13 g + 5 g = 18 g

The product contains 5 g of nitrogen .

$\text{Percent N} = \dfrac{\text{5 g}}{\text{18 g}} \times \, 100\% = \mathbf{28 \, \%}\\\text{The percent by mass of nitrogen is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{28 \, \% }}$}$

How many moles are in 1.5x1023 molecules of Na2SO4?

german

One mole of Na2SO4 is 6.022 * 10^(23) molecules. We can divide this into the quantity in the question to find a value of 1.5/6.022 = 0.2491 moles. Rounded to two significant figures and put in scientific notation, we can rewrite this quantity as 2.5 * 10^(-1) moles

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

You have cyclohexene, water, cyclohexanol, and a little sulfuric acid catalyst in a test tube at 60 oC and everything is at equi

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We can convert cyclohexanol to cyclohexene in the presence of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid catalyst in a test tube at 60 oC by heating up the mixture to about 80 oC. This is a dehydration reaction so water is removed to yield the alkene. A drying agent is used to remove any trace amount of water left in the system. This overall reaction is endothermic.

Also, the reverse is the case when we want to carry out the hydration of cyclohexene to yield cyclohexanol. The overall reaction is exothermic and involves the addition of more water to the alkene and then cooling down the system to about 40 oC.
