Answer:

A)  ⁴He₂

Explanation:

²³⁸U₉₂ → ²³⁴Th₉₀ + A

To obtain the missing element (A), we have to first find it's atomic and mass numbers.

The mass number is the sum total of the protons and neutrons in an atom. It is usually equal to the superscript in an atom. for example in ²³⁸U₉₂ the mass number is 238.

The atomic number is the total of the protons in an atom. It is usually equal to the subscript in an atom. for example in ²³⁸U₉₂ the atomic number is 92.

In a chemical eqation, there's conservation of mass.

With this, mass number of products = mass number of reactants. same thing for the atomic number.

Mass number of Product = 238

Mass number of Reactant = 234 + x

238 = 234 + x

x = 238 - 234 = 4

Atomic number of product = 92

Atomic number of reactant = 90 + y

92 = 90 + y

y =  92 -90 = 2

So the atomic number of the missing element is 2 and its mass number is 4.  ⁴A₂.

Among the elements, the only match is  ⁴He₂. So the correct option is A

<span>A. Missing part is ⁴He₂

You can also calculate it by adding/subtracting for atomic mass & atomic numbers

Hope this helps!

An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 8.5 moles of magnesium in a sample of talc. How many moles o
MrRissso [65]

There are 5.66 moles of hydrogen in the sample of talc(hydrated magnesium silicate).

Given,

Talc formula is  Mg_{3} Si_4O_{10} (OH)_2

moles of magnesium = 8.5 moles

The stoichiometry of magnesium and hydrogen is 3 : 2,

So 3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of hydrogen.

Then 8.5 moles of magnesium is equivalent to \frac{2}{3} *8.5=5.6666 moles

<h3>Talc </h3>

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), often known as talcum, is a type of clay mineral made up of hydrated magnesium silicate, having the formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Baby powder is made of powdered talc, frequently mixed with corn starch. This mineral serves as a lubricant and thickening agent. It serves as a component in paint, pottery, and roofing materials. It serves as a key component in many cosmetics. It can be found as foliated to fibrous aggregates and in a remarkably uncommon crystal form. It is foliated with a two-dimensional platy form, has a flawless basal cleavage, and an irregular flat fracture.

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), the softest mineral, is assigned a value of 1 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on scratch hardness comparisons.

DaniilM [7]
<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>
