Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.
Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.
It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g
Natural abundances in mass percent are:
O = 65%
C = 18%
H = 10%
N = 3.0%
Ca = 1.6%
P = 1.2%
Corresponding weights of the elements are:
O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g
C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g
H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g
N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g
Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g
P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
