6 0

Answer:

Alpha decay is a type of radioactive disintegration in which unstable atomic nucleus releases a helium nucleus or alpha particle and transform into a different element. The new element formed will be reduced by four and the atomic number will be reduced by two.

Example of alpha decay is: Uranium 238 transform into Thorium 234 with the emission of an alpha particle.

A sugar crystal contains approximately 1.4×1017 sucrose (C12H22O11) molecules. What is its mass in milligrams? Express using 2 s
alekssr [168]

Answer:

From the periodic table:

mass of carbon = 12 grams

mass of hydrogen = 1 grams

mass of oxygen = 16 grams

molar mass of surcose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 342 grams

number of molecules = number of moles x Avogadro's number

number of moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

number of moles = (2.2x10^17) / (6.02x10^23) = 3.6544 x 10^-7 moles

number of moles = mass / molar mass

mass = number of moles x molar mass

= 1.7 x 10^17/6.022 x 10^23.
