Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
Explanation:
Salicylic Acid:
Salicylic Acid is an hydroxy acid that is found as a natural compound in plants. It's IUPAC name is 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. Salicylic acid has an odorless white to light tan solid color. It sinks and mixes very slow with water.
Acid: An acid is a substance that produce hydrogen ion or proton when dissolved in water
Base: A base is a substance that will neutralize an acid to yield salt and water
Conjugate Base: This is a substance formed when an acid loses an hydrogen ion or proton when it dissolved in water.
Conjugate Acid: This is a substance formed when a base accept a proton from from any acid, when it dissolved in water.
Reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide
HOC₆H₄COOH(aq) + KOH(aq) ⇄ HOC₆H₄COOK(aq) + H₂O(l)
Acid ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOH (salicylic acid)
Base ⇒ KOH (potassium hydroxide)
Conjugate acid ⇒ H₂O (water)
conjugate base ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOK ( 2-hydroxypotasium benzoate)
The average sedentary male will achieve a VO2 max of approximately 35 to 40 mL/Kg/min. And the average sedentary female will score a VO2 max of between 27 an 30 mL/Kg/min.
The answer to this item is TRUE. This can be explained through the Graham's law. This law states that the rate at which gases diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of their densities which is also related to their molecular masses.
