Write a balanced equation showing how this nucleus decays to form an α particle: thorium−230.

When   an  atomic  nucleus  emits  an  alpha  particle  it  decay  into  an atom   with atomic  number  2  less   and   mass number  4  less.  Thus  Thorium   230   decay    as  follows.

230 90Th  -------> 226  88Th  +  4 2 He

thorium  is  in  the  atomic  number   90  thus  it  during   alpha decay  it reduces  to  atomic  number  88  while  its  230   mass  number  reduces  to   226

Determine the pressure change when a volume of gas at 760 mmHg is heated from 30.0 °C to 40.0 °C.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

<u>253.33 mmHg</u>

Explanation:

According to Charles' Law,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

P₁T₂ = P₂T₁

P₂ = P₁T₂ / T₁

= 760 x 40 / 30

= 760 x 4/3

= 1013.33 mmHg

Change in Pressure

= 1013.33 - 760

= <u>253.33 mmHg</u>

The table below lists the properties of a metallic element. Shiny, Silver colored, Forms +1 and +2 ions, compound with sulfur is
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Group 12

Explanation:

A metallic element that is shiny and silver colored that can exist in the +1 and +2 ionic states and  which forms a bright red compound with sulfur is mercury, Hg

The compound formed between mercury and silver is one of the earliest synthetic compound also known as vermilion and cinnabar. The bright red pigment of the HgS is used widely and is one of the most favorite pigment found in medieval European outstanding works of arts and in Chinese decorated wares made of lacquer as well as in mesoAmerica.

Consider the following reaction where K. = 154 at 298 K: 2NO(g) + Brz(9) 2NOBr(g) A reaction mixture was found to contain 2.69x1
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

2NO(g) + Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr(g)

Equilibrium constant of reaction = K=154

Concentration of NO = [NO]=\frac{2.69\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=2.69\times 10^{-2} M

Concentration of bromine gas = [Br_2]=\frac{3.85\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=3.85\times 10^{-2} M

Concentration of NOBr gas = [Br_2]=\frac{9.56\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=9.56\times 10^{-2} M

The reaction quotient is given as:

Q=\frac{[NOBr]^2}{[NO]^2[Br_2]}=\frac{(9.56\times 10^{-2} M)^2}{(2.69\times 10^{-2} M)^2\times 3.85\times 10^{-2} M}

Q=328.06

Q>K

The reaction will go in backward direction in order to achieve an equilibrium state.

1. In order to reach equilibrium NOBr (g) must be produced.  False

2. In order to reach equilibrium K must decrease. False

3. In order to reach equilibrium NO must be produced. True

4. Q. is less than K . False

5. The reaction is at equilibrium. No further reaction will occur. False

Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
OverLord2011 [107]

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.
