What else can I help you with?
When balancing a nuclear equation what two quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear equation?
In a nuclear equation, the total number of protons and neutrons is conserved. This means that the sum of the mass numbers and the sum of the atomic numbers must be the same on both sides of the equation before and after the reaction.
What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?
Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
I’m a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
In a nuclear reaction, mass and energy must be conserved. Nuclear reactions involve the conversion of mass into energy, following Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, which states that mass and energy are equivalent.
In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
What is the missing product in the nuclear reaction represented above?
To determine the missing product in a nuclear reaction, you typically need to analyze the reactants and the known products, ensuring that both mass and atomic number are conserved. This involves balancing the equation by considering the types of particles involved, such as protons, neutrons, and any emitted radiation. Without the specific details of the nuclear reaction presented, I cannot provide the exact missing product. Please provide the details of the reaction for a more accurate response.
In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.
What always stays the same when a nuclear reaction takes place?
In a nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the system remains constant, adhering to the law of conservation of mass-energy. While the identity of the elements and the arrangement of nucleons may change, the overall mass-energy before and after the reaction is conserved according to Einstein's equation (E=mc^2). Additionally, the total charge is also conserved during the reaction.
Can you convert matter into energry?
Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.
What happens to total amount of mass in chemical reaction?
The total amount of mass remains constant in a chemical reaction, according to the law of conservation of mass. This means that the total mass of the reactants will equal the total mass of the products formed in the reaction. Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
Is the fallowing sentence true or false during nuclear reactions mass is not convserved but engery is conserved?
False. Both mass and energy are conserved during nuclear reactions, according to the principle of mass-energy equivalence stated by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This means that any changes in mass that occur during a nuclear reaction are accompanied by equivalent changes in energy and vice versa.
When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?
Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.
