Hence, 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles is being emitted each second by the sample.

<h3>What is half life?</h3>

The term half life is the time taken for only half of the original  amount of radioactive nuclides to remain.

Thus, we have that the half life is 432.2 years or 1.36 * 10^10 s.

k = 0.693/ 1.36 * 10^10 s

k = 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles per second.

How have ideas about the atom changed in the last two centureies?
dsp73
In the past a scientist named dalton produced an atomic theory. There were certain problems regarding his views. So, later on scientists like chadwick, rutherford and thompson added some fresh light for the real identification of the atom.
dalton said the atom was the smallest unit and it CANNOT BE DIVIDED ANY FURTHER.
NOTE... this was renected with the discovery of the proton, neutron and electron as the sub atomic particles.

Determine how many oxygeng atoms are in 5.00 g of sample of sodium dichromate, na2cr2o7
vlada-n [284]

The number of oxygen atoms is in 5.00 g of sample of sodium dichromate, Na₂Cr₂O₇ is 1.125 x 10²³ atoms.

<h3>What is sodium dichromate?</h3>

Sodium dichromate is an inorganic compound. It is sued in tanning and mental illness.

The molar mass of sodium = 23 gm

The molar mass of Cr = 51.99 gm

The molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm

Molar mass of Na₂Cr₂O₇ = 2(23) + 2(51.99) + 7(16) = 261.98 gm

Number of moles in 7 gm = mass / molar mass = 7 / 261.98 = 0.0267 moles

1 mole of  Na₂Cr₂O₇ contains 7 moles of oxygen, therefore:

The number of moles of oxygen in 0.0267 moles = 0.0267 x 7 = 0.1869 moles

Thus, the number of atoms = 0.1869 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.125 x 10²³ atoms.

Using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced per kg of CO2 formed during the combustion of
Arisa [49]

Answer:  12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for combustion of benzene is :

2C_6H_6(l)+15O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)  \Delta H°rxn = -6278 kJ

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}=\frac{1000g}{44g/mol}=23mol      (1kg=1000g)

According to stoichiometry :

12 moles of CO_2 on combustion produce heat = 6278 kJ

Thus 23 mole of CO_2 on combustion produce heat =\frac{6278}{12}\times 23=12033kJ

Thus 12033 kJ of heat produced per kg of CO_2 formed during the combustion of benzene

Erwin Schrödinger developed the quantum model of the atom. What scientific knowledge was necessary for Schrödinger’s work?
madam [21]

<span>The scientific knowledge that was necessary for Schrodinger’s work is the Bohr’s model. Unlike the Bohr model, the quantum model does not define the exact path of an electron. The electron is likely to be in a less dense area of cloud.</span>

Balance this eqaution:<br>​
klasskru [66]

Answer:

H₂ + CuO → Cu + H₂O

Explanation:

We want to balance the given equation;

H₂ + CuO → Cu(OH)₂ + H₂O

To balance this we have to make sure the number of each element on the left is equal to the number of each element on the right.

Thus, the correct balanced equation is;

H₂ + CuO → Cu + H₂O
