A large unstable nucleus becomes tinier and emits an alpha particle during Alpha decay. 4/2He or the alpha particle that consists of two protons and two neutrons can be discharged from the nucleus during the disintegration of radioactive decay. It has a charge of positive 2.

Answer: The product of the radioactive decay $_2^4\textrm{He}$ is called as alpha particle.

Explanation:

Radioactive decay of the nuclei happens when a nuclei has to attain some sort of stability. It undergoes various decay processes and releases various particles during these decay process. The types of particles released are:

Alpha particle: These are released during alpha decay. The particle released carry a mass of +4 units and a charge of +2 units. It is represented as $_2^4\alpha$
Beta particle: These are released during beta decay. The particle released carry a mass of 0 units and a charge of -1 units. It is represented as $_{-1}^0\beta$
Gamma particle: These are released during gamma decay. The particle released does not carry any charge and is electrically neutral. It is represented by $\gamma -\text{particle}$

Hence, the correct answer is alpha particle.

Answer:

Is called a diluted solution

Explanation:

Having little solute makes the dissolving process in a large amount of solvent very easy to mix therefore it dilutes in the solvent

The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles

sergejj [24]

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is $K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

For the general chemical equation:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_c$ is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2HgO(s)+H_2O(l)+2Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HOCl(aq.)+HgO.HgCl_2(s)$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2[HgO.HgCl_2]}{[HgO]^2[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

Can the structure of an atom similar to our solar system?

nika2105 [10]

its because they're both structured the same way. for example the sun and the nucleus are the same (in the centre) and the electrons and planets orbiting are the same

Balanced equation: SiO2 + 4 HF --> SiF4 + 2H2O

Arlecino [84]

C. 25 Miles

This is because you have 12.5 moles of water and using the ratio this is 2 (molar ratio). Therefore the molar ratio for HF is 4, so 12.5 x 2 = 25 moles
