The daughter isotope : Radon-222 (Rn-222).
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an alpha decay
Required
The daughter nuclide
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same
Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra
Alpha particles : ₂⁴He
So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴ , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4
The reaction :
₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A fuel cell uses both hydrogen and oxygen as fuels. At the cathode oxygen is reduced to water according to the equation
O2+4H^+ +4e ------>2H2O
And hydrogen is oxidized at the anode:
2H2------>4H^+ +4e
Fuel cells produce only water as a by product hence they are environment friendly
Sorry, but where are the ‘items’?
Answer:
E. Water Freezing
Explanation:
Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.
A. Water Evaporating: There is an increase in entropy, this is because the phase change is from liquid to gas. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.
B. Dry Ice sublimating: Sublimating refers to a phase change from solid to gas. This is an increase in entropy, this is because the gas particles are more disordered than solid particles
C. Water Boiling: The phase change is from liquid to gaseous state. There is an increase in entropy. Gas particles are more disordered than liquid.
D. Ice melting: The phase change is from solid to liquid state. There is an increase in entropy. Liquid particles are more disordered than that of solid.
E. Water Freezing: The phase change is from liquid to solid state. There is a decrease in entropy. solid particles are less disordered than those of liquid.
He put iron with sulfur and oxygen and it had a few more errors and iron is a metal the other two are nonmetals
