Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope, 23793np, decays by emitting one alpha particle, one beta particle, and one gamma r

The given isotope of Neptunium is ^{237} _{93} Np

Alpha decay of an isotope results in daughter nuclide with mass number less by 4 units and atomic number less by 2 units than the parent isotope.

Alpha decay of Neptunium-237 can be represented as:

^{237} _{93} Np-->^{233}_{91} Pa+^{4} _{2} He

Beta decay of the above formed protactinium nuclide can be represented as:

^{233}_{91}Pa-->^{233} _{92} U+^{0}_{-1}e

Gamma decay releases only energy in the form of gamma rays, the nuclide remains the same.

^{233}_{92}U-->^{233}_{92}U+γ

The new atom formed after the given decays is ^{233}_{92}U

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

An element and an atom are different but related because
White raven [17]

Answer:

c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.

Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.
