Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of americium-241

1 answer:

5 0

When you say alpha decay, it means that the reaction would yield alpha particles. An alpha particle, α, is like helium; it has 2 protons and 4 as its mass number. So, the balanced nuclear reaction is:

Let the first number written after the element symbol be the superscript and the number after the comma be the subscript.

Am241,95 --> α4,2 + Np237,93

If the pKa value for a given acid is low, what does that say about the acid (is it weak or strong)?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

If the pKa of the acid is low (negative), then the acid is strong.

Explanation:

Ka, the acid ionization constant, measures the strength of an acid in a solution. Stronger acids have higher Ka values.

We defined: pKa = -log[Ka]

This function is a decreasing function, meaning that pKa will be getting smaller and smaller, while increasing Ka (high values of Ka will have negative pKa values). Therefore, stronger acids (high values of Ka), will have low (negative) pKa values.

Answer:

N=2

H=6

Explanation:

1.Balance a chemical equation in terms of moles.

2.Use the balanced equation to construct conversion factors in terms of moles.

3.Calculate moles of one substance from moles of another substance using a balanced chemical equation.

The law of conservation of matter says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In chemical equations, the number of atoms of each element in the reactants must be the same as the number of atoms of each element in the products.

(P.s it could also be where you have to solve it in which you have to simplify it first then solve it.) like adding them all up.

Hope this is the answer. :)
