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.

c) the salt solubility decreases with temperature.

Salts usually dissolve in water at a given temperature. When water cannot dissolve anymore salt at that same temperature, it is known as a saturation point. With most substances the solubility increases with increase in temperature. Same is the case for a salt like potassium nitrate. With increase in temperature the ability of it to dissolve in water increases. And so with decrease in temperature, the solubility decreases.

Calculate the mass of CaCl2•2H2O required to make 100.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution. Each of the calculations below will take you t
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The mass is 1.4701 grams and the moles is 0.01.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the volume of the solution is 100 ml or 0.1 L and the molarity of the solution is 0.100 M. The moles of the solute (in the given case calcium chloride dihydride (CaCl2. H2O) can be determined by using the formula,  

Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters

Now putting the values we get,  

0.100 = moles of solute/0.1000

Moles of solute = 0.100 * 0.1000

= 0.01 moles

The mass of CaCl2.2H2O can be determined by using the formula,  

Moles = mass/molar mass

The molar mass of CaCl2.2H2O is 147.01 gram per mole. Now putting the values we get,  

0.01 = mass / 147.01

Mass = 147.01 * 0.01

= 1.4701 grams.

What relationship exists between an enzyme and a catalyst?
shepuryov [24]

A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.

Suppose it took 108 joules of energy to raise a bar of gold from 25 °C to 29.7°C. Given that the specific heat capacity of gold
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

m = 180 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy absorbed = 108 J

Mas of gold = ?

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = 29.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.128 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =29.7 °C - 25°C

ΔT = 4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.128 J/g.°C ×4.7 °C

108 J = m ×0.60 J/g

m = 108 J/0.60 J/g

m = 180 g
