After undergoing alpha decay, an atom of radium-226 becomes

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is b. radon-222. The alpha decay means that it will emit an alpha particle when decays. The alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons. So Radium(88) minus two protons will become Radon(86). And the atomic mass will become 226-4=222.

An atom of 105In has a mass of 104.914558 amu. Calculate the binding energy in MeV per NUCLEON. Enter your answer with 3 signifi

joja [24]

Answer:

8.46

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of I = 549

Thus, the number of protons = 49

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

105 = 49 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,

Calculated mass = (49*1.007825 + 56*1.008665) amu = 105.868665 amu

Mass defect = Δm = |105.868665 - 104.914558| amu = 0.954107 amu

The conversion of amu to MeV is shown below as:-

1 amu = 931.5 MeV

So, Energy = 0.954107*931.5 MeV/atom = 888.750671 MeV/atom

Also, 1 atom has 105 nucleons (Protons+neutrons)

So, Energy = 888.750671 MeV/105nucleons = 8.46 MeV/nucleon

The subscripts tell you how many atoms of an element are in one formula unit of a compound.

If there is no subscript, there is only one atom of the element.

In one formula unit of Na₂PO₃F, there are

Two atoms of sodium (Na)

One atom of phosphorus (P)

Three atoms of oxygen (O)

One atom of fluorine (F)

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.400 atm (a typical value at high altitude).A

Bond [772]

Answer:

The molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $3.50\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm$

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbonated drink

$p_{CO_2}=p\times \chi_{CO_2}$

where = p = Total pressure = 0.400 atm

$\chi_{CO_2}$ = mole fraction of $CO_2=3.33\times 10^{-4}$

$p_{CO_2}=0.400 atm\times 3.33\times 10^{-4} =0.0001332 atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{CO_2}=3.5\times 10^{-2}mol/L.atm\times 0.0001332 atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=4.662\times 10^{-6} M$

Hence, the molar solubility of carbon dioxide gas is $4.662\times 10^{-6} M$ .

Why do plant animal cells both have mitochondria?

LuckyWell [14K]

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell. They are important because they are an energy factor for both plant and animal cells. They take the food you eat, and turn that as energy for the rest of the cell to use. It is critical that every cell has one to survive whether plant or animal.

100 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST FOR HELP

kykrilka [37]

Materials are transferred between individual cells and their internal environment through the cell membrane by diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. During diffusion and osmosis, molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution. Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. This would be the diffusion.
