Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which unstable nuclei emit radioactive particles and energy. Fission occurs as the result of high-energy bombardment of nuclei that cause them to break into smaller nuclei, radioactive particles, and energy. All fission events are not the same. The nuclei split in a number of ways to produce several different products.

<h3>What is Radioactive?</h3>

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive. Alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay are three of the most frequent kinds of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.

Beta decay is a result of the weak force, while the nuclear force and electromagnetism are in charge of the other two mechanisms. The capture of an inner electron from one of the electron shells by an unstable nucleus is the fourth prevalent form of decay. A series of electrons drop as a result of that electron being lost from the shell.

What is the pH of a 0.00530 M solution of HCI?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

HCl(l) ===> H+ + cl-

HCl is a very strong acid. Almost all of it will decompose to the right. That means the concentration of H+ is 0.00530

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log[0.00530]

pH = - - 2.2757

pH = 2.2757

Rounded this 2.28

Iron reacts with cl2 according to the equation 2 fe(s) + 3 cl2(g) ? 2 fecl3(s). how many moles of cl2 is needed to react with 4.
IceJOKER [234]
2Fe + 3Cl₂ ---> 2FeCl₃

4.4mol of Fe, you have a 2:3 ratio of Fe to Cl₂ so divide 4.4/2 = 2.2 and multiply by three 2.2 x 3 = 6.6mol of Cl₂

hope that helps :)

Calculate the molarity of a solution of sodium hydroxide, naoh, if 23.64 ml of this solution is needed to neutralize 0.5632 g of
GuDViN [60]
The  molarity  of  NaOH  needed  is  calculated   as  follows
calculate  the  moles  of  KhC8h4O4

that  is  moles  =  mass/molar  mass  of  KhC8h4O4(204.22 g/mol)

=0.5632g /204.22g/mol=  2.76  x10^-3  moles

write the  equation  for  reaction

khc8h4O4  +  NaOH  ---> KNaC8h4O4  +  H2O

from  the  equation  above  the   reacting  ratio   of   KhC8h4O4  to  NaOh  is  1:1  therefore  the  moles  of  Naoh  is  also  2.76  x10^-3  moles

molarity  of NaOh  =  (moles  of  NaOh /  volume ) x  1000

that  is { (2.76  x10^-3) / 23.64}  x100  =0.117 M
