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

Chemistry

Zanzabum3 years ago
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.

<em>Am241,95 --> α4,2 + Np237,93</em>

The molar mass of I2 is 253.80 g/mol, and the molar mass of NI3 is 394.71 g/mol. How many moles of I2 will form 3.58 g of NI3?
Nat2105 [25]
To answer the problem above first we need to find the difference of molar mass of NI3 from I2, 394.71 g/mol - 253.80 g/mol = 140.91 g/mol. Knowing the molar mass of the difference of NI3 from I2, in equation mass (g) / moles (mol) = molar mass, then we substitute. 3.58g / moles = 140.91 g/mol.
moles = 3.58 / 140.91 = 0.025 moles.

How many moles of C2H2 are needed to react completely with 84 mol O2
Butoxors [25]

Balanced chemical equation:

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

2 moles C2H2 ---------------- 5 moles O2
moles C2H2 ------------------ 84 moles O2

moles C2H2 = 84 * 2 / 5

molesC2H2 = 168 / 5 => 33.6 moles of C2H2

Why does determining volume work only for a regular shaped object
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape.

Explanation:

Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape. When dealing with an object composed of differing shapes, your must calculate each portion separately and then add them.
