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.

Se hace reaccionar 4,00 g de aluminio y 42,00 g de bromo, según la reacción: Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s) Calcular las moles de AlBr3(s
NeX [460]

Answer:

0.145 moles de AlBr3.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, al considerar la reacción química dada:

Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s)

Es claro que primero debemos balancearla como se muestra a continuación:

2Al(s)+3Br2(l)⟶2AlBr3(s)

Así, calculamos las moles del producto AlBr3 por medio de las masas de ambos reactivos, con el fin de decidir el resultado correcto:

n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Al}=4.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{2molAl}=0.145mol AlBr_3\\\\n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Br_2}=42.00gr*\frac{1molr}{160g Br_2} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{3molBr_2}=0.175mol AlBr_3

Así, inferimos que el valor correcto es 0.145 moles de AlBr3, dado que viene del reactivo límite que es el aluminio.

¡Saludos!
