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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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>

When 0.50 L of a 12 M solution is diluted to 1.0 L, what is the resulting molarity?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The resulting molarity is 6M.

Explanation:

A dilution consists of the decrease of concentration of a substance in a solution (the higher the volume of the solvent, the lower the concentration).

We use the formula for dilutions:

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2

12 M x 0,5L = C2 x 1,0 L

C2= (12 M x 0,5 L)/1,0 L

<em>C2= 6 M</em>

Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane, butane c4h10, have two more hydrogens ?
Scilla [17]
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
