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

Chemistry

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 many milliliters of sodium metal, with a density of 0.97 g/mL, would be needed to produce 53.2 grams of hydrogen gas in the
olchik [2.2K]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
</span><span>
We first use the amount of hydrogen gas to be produced and the molar mass of the hydrogen gas to determine the amount in moles to be produced. Then, we use the relation from the reaction to relate H2 to Na.

53.2 g H2 ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) ( 2 mol Na / 1 mol H2 ) ( 22.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1210.96 g Na

1210.96 g Na ( 1 mL / 0.97 g ) = 1248.41 mL Na needed</span>
