Agata [3.3K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Alpha decay occurs when a radioactive atm emits an alpha particle (Helium atom).

a)      ²⁵⁶Ra      ⇒      ²⁵²₈₄ Po  +   ⁴₂He

b)     ²¹⁹Rn       ⇒      ²¹⁵₈₂Pb    +   ⁴₂He

c)      ²¹¹Po      ⇒      ²⁰⁷₈₀Hg    +   ⁴₂Hg

d)      ²¹⁰Pb     ⇒     ²⁰⁶₇₈Pt      +   ⁴₂Hg

e)      ²³⁸U      ⇒     ²³⁴₈₈U       +   ⁴₂Hg

Make a connection between bacteria and extreme environment
Ugo [173]
<span>One example of bacteria that live in an extreme environment are the thermophilic species that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Thermophilic means heat-loving and the waters in which these bacteria live can rise above 70 degrees Celcius after being heated by lava below the surface. Most life would die at that temperature however some bacteria have evolved to survive the extreme heat.</span>

At the beginning of the reaction: N2 + 3H2 -&gt; 2NH there is 1 mol of N. and 3 moles of H, and at the end of it is present a mi
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

call realistic moles of N2 in the reaction is a

moles of H2 :3a

moles of NH3: 2a

the moles of residual N2 after reaction: 1-a

the moles of residual H2 after react: 3- 3a

the moles of mixture: 2a+1-a+3-3a=2.5

-> a=0.75

H=0.75/1=75%

. KMnO4 oxidizes ethyl benzene to benzoic acid. If this reaction generally results in a 40 % experimental yield, how many grams
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

530.835 g

Explanation:

First we convert 244 g of benzoic acid (C₇H₆O₂) to moles, using its molar mass:

  • 244 g benzoic acid ÷ 122.12 g/mol = 2.00 moles benzoic acid

Theoretically,<em> one mol of ethyl benzene would produce one mol of benzoic acid</em>. But the experimental yield tells us that one mol of ethyl benzene will produce only 0.4 moles of benzoic acid.

With the above information in mind we convert 2.00 moles of benzoic acid into moles of ethyl benzene:

  • 2.00 moles benzoic acid * \frac{1molEthylBenzene}{0.4molBenzoicAcid} = 5.00 moles ethyl benzene

Finally we <u>convert moles of ethyl benzene </u>(C₈H₁₀)<u> into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 5.00 moles ethyl benzene * 106.167 g/mol = 530.835 g ethyl benzene
