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.

A solution of an acid could have a pH of __*<br> 3 to 5<br> 6 to 8<br> 9 to 11<br> 12 to 14
sdas [7]

Answer:

3 to 5

Explanation:

The pH scale is from 0 to 14.

Acids have a pH of anything less than 7.

Anything with a pH greater than 7 is considered to be a base.

If a solution has a pH of 7, it is neutral.

3 to 5 is in the range of less than 7, so a solution of an acid can have this pH.

6 to 8 includes less than 7 , 7 and greater than 7, so it is not just in the range of an acid.

9 to 11 and 12 to 14 are both in the range of greater than 7, so they have to be bases.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3 to 5.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: 2 NH3(g) ⇄ N2(g) + 3 H2(g) What does Le Chatelier's principle predict will happe
BabaBlast [244]

Answer : The equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

The given reaction is:

2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)

As per question, when we are adding N_2  then the concentration of N_2 is increased on product side then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of N_2 takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Thus, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.
