The nuclear disintegration series of 238-U is the source of radon-222 in soil.

<h3>What is nuclear disintegration ?</h3>

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

Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things.
Alpha particles may be present in the ionising radiation that is released.

As one atom transforms into another, radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy.
Helium ions are released from an atom's nucleus during alpha decay. A neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton and electron during beta decay.

An iron sulfide compound is analyzed, and found to contain 11.26 g iron and 9.70 g sulfur. Determine the molar ratio of sulfur t

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Molar ratio = 1.5

Chemical formula = Fe₂S₃

Explanation:

First we convert the given masses of each element into moles, using their respective molar masses:

Fe ⇒ 11.26 g ÷ 55.845 g/mol = 0.202 mol Fe

S ⇒ 9.70 g ÷ 32.065 g/mol = 0.302 mol S

Now we divide them in order to calculate the molar ratio of S to Fe:

0.302 / 0.202 = 1.5

Meaning that for each 1 Fe mol, there's 1.5 S moles. We can write that as Fe₁S₁.₅

Finally we double those subscripts so that they become the lowest possible integers: Fe₂S₃.
