Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
242.4 g
Explanation:
RAM of KNO3=39+14+(16×3)=101
Mass=morality×RAM
101*2.4=242.4
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Molecular formula ( just write down all of the elements ) C 4 H4 O4
Empiracle formual CHO
"Molecular formulas tell you how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas tell you the simplest or most reduced ratio of elements in a compound"
Answer:
ºC
Explanation:
We have to start with the variables of the problem:
Mass of water = 60 g
Mass of gold = 13.5 g
Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC
Final temperature of water= 20 ºC
<u>Initial temperature of gold= Unknow</u>
Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC
Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C
Now if we remember the <u>heat equation</u>:
We can relate these equations if we take into account that <u>all heat of gold is transfer to the water</u>, so:
Now we can <u>put the values into the equation</u>:
Now we can <u>solve for the initial temperature of gold</u>, so:
ºC
I hope it helps!
