Thorium is an element that occurs naturally in the earth's crust. The only naturally occurring isotope of thorium is 232Th and i

t is unstable and radioactive. The first step in the Thorium decay chain is the emission of an alpha particle. Which of these nuclei emerges from the decay?
A) 22888Ra
B) 23086Rn
C) 23289Ac
D) 23892U

A, radium-228. Alpha radiation is essentially just two protons and two neutrons leaving the atom, causing the atomic number to drop by two (since the protons left) and the mass number to drop by four (since two neutrons and protons left).

A.228_88Ra

In alpha decay a helium nucleus, 42He, is emitted. Since the total number of nucleons must be conserved, the atomic number of the parent nucleus must decrease by two, and the mass number must decrease by four. Here, the new atomic number is 90 - 2 = 88, and new mass number is 232 - 4 = 228.

4. A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solu- tions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals
emmasim [6.3K]

A galvanic cell is formed when two metals are immersed in solutions differing in concentration 1 when two different metals are immersed.

<h3>What is galvanic cell?</h3>

A galvanic cell is an electrochemical device that transforms chemically generated free energy into electrical energy. A photogalvanic cell produces photochemical species that react to produce an electrical current when connected to an external circuit.

<h3>How does galvanic cell works?</h3>

In order to create a pathway for the flow of electrons via this wire, the galvanic cell makes use of the ability to split the flow of electrons during the processes of oxidation and reduction, forcing a half-reaction and linking each with a wire.

An electrochemical device known as a galvanic cell converts chemical energy from a spontaneous redox response into electrical energy. It possesses an electrical potential of 1.1 V. The anode, which is a negative plate in galvanic cells, is where oxidation takes place. It is a positive plate where lessening takes place.

Thich of the following is a chemical property2
Dimas [21]

Answer:

"Freezing point  and ability to react with oxygen" are chemical properties

Explanation:

The change of liquid into solid is the freezing point. The melting point is more than the freezing point in certain cases of mixtures for certain organic compounds like fats. As soon as the mixture freezes it becomes solid and which results in change in the composition from the liquid and solid in this way the it drastically reduces the freezing point. The melting point gets higher due to the pressure. This happens due to the release of heat of which results in the rise of temperature to the freezing point .Also the reaction of elements with oxygen which leads to formation of new substance is also an chemical property

The ionization of pure water forms _____.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The ionization of pure water forms <u><em>hydroxide and hydronium ions.</em></u>

Explanation:

Ionization is a reaction in the pure water in which water breaks down into its constituting ions that hydronium ion and hydroxide ions.

H_2O+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++OH^-

One molecule of water looses its proton to form hydroxide ion and l=the lost protons get associated with another water molecule to form hydronium ion.

It is recommended that drinking water contain 1.6 ppm fluo- ride (F) to prevent tooth decay. Consider a cylindrical reservoir wi
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

32,127.02 grams of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate will contain this 25,434  grams of F.

Explanation:

Volume of cylindrical reservoir = V

Radius of the cylindrical reservoir = r = d/2

d = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = d =4.50\times 10^1 m=45 m

r = d/2 = 22.5 m

Depth of the reservoir = h =  10.0 m

V=\pi r^2 h

=3.14\times (22.5 m)^2\times 10.0 m=15,896.25 m^3=15,896,250 L

1 m^3=1000 l

Volume of water cylindrical reservoir : V

Density of water,d = 1 kg/L

Mass of water cylindrical reservoir =  m

m=d\times V=1 kg/L\times 15,896,250 L=15,896,250 kg

1.6 kilogram of fluorine per million kilograms of water. (Given)

Concentration of fluorine in water = 1.6 kg/ 1000,000 kg of water

In 1000,000 kg of water = 1.6 kg of fluorine

Then 15,896,250 kg of water have x mass of fluorine:

\frac{x}{15,896,250 kg\text{kg of water}}=\frac{1.6 kg}{1000,000 \text{kg of water}}

x=\frac{1.6 kg}{1000,000}\times 15,896,250 kg=25.434 kg

15,896,250 kg water of contains mass 25.434 kg of fluorine.

25.434 kg = 25434 g

25,434  grams of fluorine  should be added to give 1.6 ppm.

Percentage of fluorine in hydrogen hexafluorosilicate :

Molar mass hydrogen hexafluorosilicate = 144 g/mol

F\%=\frac{6\times 19 g/mol}{144 g/mol}\times 100=79.16\%

Total mass of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate = m'

79.16\%=\frac{25,434 g}{m'}\times 100

m' = 32,127.02 g

32,127.02 grams of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate will contain this 25,434  grams of F.
