Why is helium found in deposits of uranium and thorium vores? What kind of radioactive emission produces it?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Drupady [299]1 year ago
4 0

Two protons and two neutrons are emitted and trapped as materials like uranium and thorium deep underground decay into radium and thorium, respectively. These alpha-particles transform into stable helium atoms as they take on electrons from their surroundings.

<h3>What elements go through alpha decay?</h3>

Alpha decay usually occurs in heavy nuclei such as uranium or plutonium, and therefore is a major part of the radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion.

<h3>Where does alpha decay occur?</h3>

Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio. An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles.

How much water (H2O ) would form if 4.04 g of hydrogen (H2) reacted with 31.98 g of oxygen (O2 )?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Mass = 36 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water formed = ?

Mass of hydrogen = 4.04 g

Mass of oxygen = 31.98 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →   2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.04 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.02 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 31.98 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with hydrogen and oxygen.

                O₂         :         H₂O

                 1           :           2

                H₂         :         H₂O

                 2          :          2

               2.02       :      2.02

Number of moles of water formed by oxygen are less thus oxygen will limiting reactant.

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 36 g

Study the image and answer the question.
konstantin123 [22]
The image represents A COMPOUND because the molecules are BONDED CHEMICALLY.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements combine together chemically. In the process of chemical combination, the chemical bonds that were present in the participating elements will be broken and new chemical bonds will be formed in the product.

Consider the reaction CaCO3(s) --&gt; CaO(s) + CO2(g)
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Kc = [CO2], that is to say it is equal to the concentration of CO2

Explanation:

It is a heterogeneous equilibrium since the substances that participate in the reaction are in different phases

In the heterogeneous limestone decomposition reaction:

CaCO3(s) --> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

The equilibrium constants are:

Kc = [CO2(g)]; Kp = PCO2(g); Kc = Kp (R T)^ −(1−0) = Kp (R T)^ −1

The equilibrium situation is not affected by the amount of  solid or liquid, as long as these substances are present.

The equilibrium constant is independent of the  amounts of solids and liquids in equilibrium.

You need to make 25 microliters of a 3M NaOh solution for a test reagent. Your laboratory routinely stocks 500 milliliters of a
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

0.0075 milliliters (7.5 microliters) will be taken from the stock solution and then diluted with 0.0249925 milliliters (24.9925 microliters) of water to make 0.025 milliliters (25 microliters) of NaOH solution.

Explanation:

This is a problem of dilution using the equation:

<em>initial concentration x initial volume = final concentration x final volume.</em>

The final volume to be prepared is 25 microliters.

The final concentration to be prepared is 3 M.

The initial volume to be taken is not known yet.

The initial concentration is 10 M.

Now, let's substitute these parameters into the the equation above.

10 x initial volume = 3 x 25

Initial volume = 3 x 25/10

     = 7.5 microliters

Note that: 1 microliter = 0.001 milliliters

Hence,

7.5 microliters = 0.0075 milliliters

<u>This means that an initial volume of 0.0075 milliliters (7.5 microliters) will be taken from the stock solution. This amount will then be diluted with 0.0249925 milliliters (24.9925 microliters) of water to make 0.025 milliliters (25 microliters) of NaOH solution.</u>
