Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.

<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>

Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”

Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.

<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>

It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

Identify the ion ratios needed to form neutral compounds from the ions below. The metal ion (cation) is listed first, and the no
Natasha2012 [34]
To figure out the ratios of these compounds, it is important to remember that the charge of these compounds must be <em>neutral</em>.

So in order to make them neutral, you must have specific ratios:

Na^{+}: Br^{-}  =1:1; This is true because they both have a charge of magnitude of 1.

Al^{3+}: Cl^{-}=1:3; We need 3 chlorine atoms because we need to balance out the charge from the 3+ charge of aluminum - therefore since chlorine has a 1- charge, we need 3 atoms.

Mg^{2+}: O^{2-}=1:1; The charges of the magnesium (2+) are balanced with the oxygen charge (2-).

Al^{3+}: O^{2-}=2:3; This is correct because if charges are like this, you must find the least common factor in order to know the ratio. The LCF is 6, therefore, for the atom with a 3+ charge, you need 2 of them, and for the atom with a 2- charge, you need 3 of them. This keeps the charge neutral.

Zina [86]

Answer:

H_2O + 2CrO_4^2- + 3SO_3^2- -> 3SO_3^2- + 2CrO_2^- + 2OH^-

Explanation:

Reduction half reaction

2H_2O + CrO_4^2- + 3e -> CrO_2^- + 4OH^-

Oxidation half reaction

2OH^- + SO_3^2- -> SO_4^2- + H_2O + 2e

Balanced overall equation

H_2O + 2CrO_4^2- + 3SO_3^2- -> 3SO_3^2- + 2CrO_2^- + 2OH^-
