An alpha particle has a mass number of 4.
The mass number in the decay of uranium-234 to lead-214 decreases from 234 to 214, so by 20.
20 ÷ 4 = 5
5 alpha particles were emitted in this decay series. The answer is C.

Niobium-91 has a half-life of 680 years. After 2,040 years, how much niobium-91 will remain from a 300.0-g sample? 3 g 18.75 g 3
Vadim26 [7]
Amount of Niobium-91 initially
= 300/91 =3.2967mol
2040 years = 3 ×680 = 3 half-lives
therefore, amount left = 0.4121mol
mass of Niobium-91 remaining = 0.4121 ×91 =37.5g

A chemist adds 0.50L of a 0.485 M copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the millimoles of copper(II)
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that volume is 0.50 L and molarity is 0.485 M. Hence, number of millimoles will be calculated as follows.

               Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

As there are 1000 mL in 1 L. So, 0.50 L equals 500 mL.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

             Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

                                                 = 0.485 M × 500 mL      

                                                 = 242.5

Thus, we can conclude that 242.5 millimoles of copper(II) sulfate has been added by the chemist to the flask.
