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.

How would you prepare 250 mL of a 0.100 M solution of fluoride ions<br> from solid CaF2?
andrey2020 [161]

In 250 mL of volumetric flask add 0.975875 grams of CaF_2 and dissolve it in the 250 mL of water.

Given:

The solid of calcium fluoride.

To prepare:

The 250 mL solution of 0.100 M of fluoride ions from solid calcium fluoride.

Method:

Molarity of the fluoride ion solution needed = M = 0.100 M

The volume of the fluoride ion solution needed = V = 250 mL

1 mL = 0.001L\\V=250 mL=250\times 0.001 L=0.250 L

The moles of fluoride ion needed = n

According to the definition of molarity:

M=\frac{n}{V}\\0.100M=\frac{n}{0.250 L}\\n=0.100M\times 0.250 L=0.025 mol

Moles of fluoride ion = 0.025 mol

We know that solid calcium fluoride dissolves in water to give calcium ions and fluoride ions.

CaF_2(s)\rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq)+2F^-(aq)

According to reaction, 2 moles of fluoride ions are obtained from 1 mole of calcium fluoride, then 0.025 moles of fluoride ions will be obtained from:

=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.025 mol=0.0125 \text{mol of } CaF_2

Moles of calcium fluoride = 0.0125 mol

Mass of calcium fluoride needed to prepare the solution :

=0.0125 mol\times 78.07 g/mol=0.975875 g

Preparation:

  • Weight 0.975875 grams of calcium fluoride
  • Add weighed calcium fluoride to a volumetric flask of the labeled volume of 250 mL.
  • Now add a small amount of water to dissolve the calcium fluoride completely.
  • After this add more water up to the mark of the volumetric flask of volume 250 mL.

Answer:

1) The correct step in the scientific method that Victor did is Construct a hypothesis.

2) Given mass and density, volume is calculated as mass divided by density.

Explanation:

1) Before doing the assay and make a graph with the results obtained, Victor should think what he wants to prove, so he should make a hypoythesis to test with the assay.

2) The formula of density is

density = mass/volume ⇒ density x volume = mass ⇒                      volume = mass/density.
