Background
What is common for all
reactions in this group?
Every nuclear reaction involve the alteration of the atomic nucleus.
How can you predict the products
of the reaction given only the reactants?
Identify the reaction type then analyze the reactants in the reaction then using machine learning tools to predict the electron flow and potential products.
How can nuclear energy be used be used to treat cancer?
It can be used to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy cells using high-energy particles
What is the balanced equation?
PuF4 + 2Ca > Pu + 2CaF2
How can you tell if a reaction is
this type given the reactants and products?
Which can be identified by the changes in identity of the elements themselves.
What's a way that nuclear energy was used in war?
Atomic bombs to attack Japan in world war 2
What is the limiting reagent?
Calcium is the limiting reagent
How can engineers use nuclear energy?
They can use it for example in Fission-Based Power Generation. Which provides energy and heat.
What is the mass of the excess reactant?
10.2 grams of PuF4 leftover
