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

Ammonium phosphate is an important ingredient in many solid fertilizers. It can be made by reacting aqueous phosphoric acid with
ankoles [38]

Answer:

n_{NH_3}=0.18molNH_3

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

H_3PO_4(aq)+3NH_3(l)\rightarrow (NH_4)_3PO_4

In such a way, considering the 3 to 1 molar relationship between ammonia and ammonium phosphate, the moles of ammonia result:

n_{NH_3}=0.060mol(NH_4)_3PO_4*\frac{3molNH_3}{1mol(NH_4)_3PO_4}\\n_{NH_3}=0.18molNH_3

Best regards.

A thermometer shows that the temperature of the air in a room has increased.Which type of energy has increased?
liberstina [14]

Kinetic energy has increased.

The <em>Kinetic Molecular Theory</em> of gases states that the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.

Thus, if the temperature of the air in a room has increased, the average kinetic energy of its molecules has increased.
