Number of alpha decays is 4.

₉₀Th²³² → ₂He⁴ + ₈₈Ra²²⁸        ∴ α = ₂He⁴

Since, atomic number change by 2 in each alpha decay.

Total charge = 90 -82 = 8

Number of alpha decay = 8/2 = 4.

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay wherein an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a extraordinary atomic nucleus, with a mass wide variety this is decreased through 4 and an atomic wide variety this is decreased through two.

Alpha decay - A common mode of radioactive decay wherein a nucleus emits an alpha particle (a helium-four nucleus). Beta decay - A commonplace mode of radioactive decay in which a nucleus emits beta particles. The daughter nucleus will have a better atomic number than the original nucleus.

PLEASE HELP, I ONLY NEED THE RIGHT ANSWER IN LITERS

You can form 9.20 L of NH₃ gas at 93.0 °C and 37.3 kPa or 2.56 L at STP. The balanced chemical equation is N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ Since all substances are gases, we can use litres instead of moles in our calculations. You don't specify the pressure and temperature of the NH₃, so I will calculate its volume in two ways.

What would you predict about a chemical that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1×10 to the -12 power M
boyakko [2]
You can predict its acidity (pH).

The formula for pH is: pH = log { 1 / [H+] } = log { 1 / (1*10^-12) }

=> pH = log {10^12} = 12.

Remember that acids have pH between 1 and less than 7 and basic compounds have pH greater than 7 and less than 14.

So, you can predict that this product is a base (alkaline).

Based on what you know about Earth's magnetic field what do you think about Mars' interior?
Tomtit [17]

The interior of mars is rigid

Explanation:

To produce the magnetic field of the earth, the outer core is fluid and constantly moving.

  • The outer core is made up of metals
  • These metals are rich in iron and nickel and some other elements.
  • During the early formation of the earth, these minerals differentiated into this layer of the earth based on their density.
  • But the outer core region is molten and fluid.
  • The movement of these materials is responsible for the production of the geo-magnetic field that makes the earth behave like a bar magnet.

Mars has no magnetic field and we can suggest that its interior is rigid and solid.
