The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.
The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:
²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn
I think it is the gas and the heat in it
In general, solubility increases with temperature. When you increase the temperature of a solvent, you increase the kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the molecules, and this greater energy helps dissolve more of the solute molecules.
