What is the mass in milligrams of 4.30 moles of sodium?use âeâ for âÃ10" and use significant figures?
Elis [28]

First, calculate the mass of sodium in g with the help of molar mass and number of moles.

Number of moles = \frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}   (1)

Molar mass of sodium =23 .0 g/mol

Substitute the given value of number of moles and molar mass of sodium in formula (1)

4.30 moles = \frac{given mass in g}{23.0 g/mol}   (1)

4.30 moles\times 23.0 g/mol = mass in g   (1)

mass of sodium in g = 98.9 g

Now, according to conversion factor, 1 g = 1000 mg

So, 98.9 g of sodium = 98.9 \times 1000  mg

= 98900 mg of sodium

Thus, mass of sodium in mg  =9.89 \times 10^{4} mg

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br><br> 257/100 Fm= ________+4/2He
maria [59]

Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf

253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.

Explanation:

1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).

2) Therefore:

i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.

2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.

3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.

4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:

₉₈²⁵³ Cf.

5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:

₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He

You can verify the mass balance:

257 = 253 + 4, and

100 = 98 + 2

What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 227th undergoes alpha decay?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: -

²²³Ra is the daughter nuclide produced when ²²⁷Th undergoes alpha decay

Explanation: -

When alpha decay occurs, the mass number of the parent decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Mass number of ²²⁷Th =227

Atomic number of ²²⁷Th = 90

Mass number of daughter = 227 - 4 = 223

Atomic number of daughter = 90 - 2 = 88

88 is the atomic number of Ra Radium.

Thus the daughter is ²²³Ra
