<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
A pure chemical compound is a chemical substance that is composed of a particular set of molecules or ions that are chemically bonded.
Answer: AZ is the insoluble choice.
Explanation:
Z is an anion of a weak electronegative element. Hence, it bounds lightly with the highly electropositive cation A to form AZ.
AZ is not as ionic as AX, AY, BX, BY and BZ, so it is insoluble in water and yields precipitate on reaction with the salt of a weaker metal.
Answer: 17.34 grams of alum will be produced if 0.9875 g of Aluminium foil was used.
Explanation: Reaction to form alum from Aluminium is given as:

We are given Aluminium to be the limiting reactant, so the formation of alum will be dependent on Aluminium because it limits the formation of product.
By stoichiometry,
2 moles of Al is producing 2 moles of Alum
Mass of 2 moles of Aluminium = (2 × 27)g/mol = 54 g/mol
Mass of 2 moles of alum = (2 × 474)g/mol = 948 g/mol
54 g/mol of aluminium will produce 948 g/mol of alum, so

Amount of Alum produced = 17.34 grams
Theoretical yield of alum = 17.34 grams.
