Answer:

U --> Th + He

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

A 0.75M solution of CH3OH is prepared in 0.500 kg of water. How many moles of CH3OH are needed?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

We need 0.375 mol of CH3OH to prepare the solution

Explanation:

For the problem they give us the following data:

Solution concentration 0,75 M

Mass of Solvent is 0,5Kg

knowing that the density of water is 1g / mL, we find the volume of water:

$d = \frac{g}{mL} \\\\ V= \frac{g}{d} = \frac{500g}{1 \frac{g}{mL} } = 500mL = 0,5 L$

Now, find moles of $CH_{3} OH$ are needed using the molarity equation:

$M = \frac{ moles }{ V (L)} \\\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = M . V(L) = 0,75 M . 0,5 L\\\\molesCH_{3}OH = 0,375 mol$

therefore the solution is prepared using 0.5 L of H2O and 0.375 moles of CH3OH, resulting in a concentration of 0,75M

Which of these solutes raises the boiling point of water the most?

sergey [27]

Answer:

D. ionic sodium phosphate (Na3PO4)

Explanation:

Molecule for molecule, the solute that raises the boiling point of water the most is the one that makes the most particles in the solution. Lithium chloride breaks up into two ions (Li+ and Cl-). So does sodium chloride (Na+ and Cl-). Molecular molecules don't break up at all, so sucrose has only 1 particle per molecule. Sodium phosphate makes 4 total particles (3 Na+ ions and 1 PO4^3-). And magnesium bromide would make 3 particles (1 Mg2+ and 2 Br-). So the most is 4.
