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.

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 mole of c
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Theoretical moles of V are 1.6 moles

Explanation:

The theoretical yield of a reaction is defined as the amount of product you would make if all of the limiting reactant was converted into product.

In the reaction:

V2O5(s) + 5Ca(i) → 2V(i) + 5CaO(s)

Based on the reaction, 1 mol of V2O5 needs 5 moles of Ca for a complete reaction. As there are just 4 moles, <em>limiting reactant is Ca.</em> As there are produced 2 moles of V per 5mol of Ca, Theoretical moles of V are:

4 moles of Ca × (2mol V / 5Ca) = <em>1.6 moles of V</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Isobutyl propionate is the substance that provides the flavor for rum extract. combustion of a 1.152 g sample of this carbon-hyd
Ulleksa [173]

Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

                           = 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen  = 2/18 × 1.116 g

                            =  0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

                           =  0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ;  0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen;  0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

         =  3.5 :  7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2  to get;

(3.5 :  7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate  is C7H14O2
