If Uranium-234 decays via alpha emission, what is the likely product of radioactive decay? (U, atomic no. = 92)

Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
5 0

An alpha emission is one in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus). Therefore in this reaction, the products of the decay are Helium and another element X. Helium has an atomic mass and atomic number of 4 and 2 respectively, therefore the complete reaction is:

U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + X

Since atomic mass and number must be conserved therefore X = X-230 (90)

U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + X-230 (90)

The element with atomic number of 90 is Thorium. Therefore the other product is Thorium-230 (90).

<span>U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + Th-230 (90)</span>

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

                                                         = 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

Gamma radiation is electromagnetic energy<br> True or false
AfilCa [17]

Hey there! :D

This is a true statement. Gamma radiation comes from electromagnetic energy from radioactive decay. This decay has the shortest electromagnetic wave lengths and therefore has the highest photon energy. It is extremely dangerous. Radiation in general is something to be cautious of!

I hope this helps!

Which of the following gases effuses the fastest at a given temperature?
Sholpan [36]

Answer: -

H₂ will diffuse the fastest.

Explanation: -

According to Graham's Law of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of it's density or molar mass. So the lower the molar mass faster the rate of diffusion.

Molar mass of Ne = 20 g / mol

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 x 1 + 1 x 4 = 16 g /mol

Molar mass of Ar = 40g / mol

Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g / mol

Thus H₂ will diffuse the fastest.
