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

Chemistry

Zanzabum3 years ago

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>

What is a way of transforming energy by exerting a force over distance?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a. Work

Explanation:

If you apply a force over a given distance - you have done work. Work = Change in Energy. If an object's kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy changes, then work is done. The force can act in the same direction of motion.

3 Na2O(aq) + 2 Al(NO3)3(aq) ----&gt; _ Compound A + _ Compound B
Olin [163]
3Na2O(at) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq) —> 6NaNO3(aq) + Al2O3(s)

This is a double replacement reaction and NaNO3 is aqueous because Na is an alkali metal, plus nitrate is in the solution. Both of these are soluble. Al2O3 is not soluble because it does not contain any element that is soluble and is hence the precipitate.

Hope this helped!

1)If I mixed salt in water I would expect the salt to:
zaharov [31]

Answer:

1)If I mixed salt in water I would expect the salt to: dissolve.

2) If I mixed starch in water I would expect the starch to: remain undissolved.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since salt, which is commonly known as sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound, it is very likely to get dissolved in water, therefore, we would expect the salt to dissolve and form a liquid solution.

Moreover, since start is mainly composed by C-C, C-O and C-H bonds which are nonpolar, it we can say it is usually insoluble in water, therefore we will expect starch to remain undissolved but undergoing a process called gelatinization in which a suspension in formed until a slightly solid consistency.

Best regards.
