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.

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

Calculate in witch material - sodium or zinc sulphide is the highest percentage by mass of sulfur ​
rjkz [21]

Answer:

sodium sulphide.

Explanation:

First, let us obtain the percentage of sulphur in both compounds. This is illustrated below:

For sodium sulphide(Na₂S):

Molar Mass of Na₂S = (23x2) + 32 = 46 + 32 = 78g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in Na₂S is given by:

32/78 x 100 = 41%

For zinc sulphide(ZnS):

Molar Mass of ZnS = 65.4 + 32 = 97.4g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in ZnS is given by:

32/97.4 x 100 = 33%

From the results obtained sulphur has the highest percentage by mass in sodium sulphide.
