When an atom undergoes alpha decay

1 answer:

7 0

Are you asking for a specific atom or just the general definition?

The general definition of alpha decay is the loss of two protons and two neutrons from a nucleus. (Also equal to a helium atom!) This decreases the total mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2.

a chemist wishes to mix some pure acid with some water to produce 16L of a solution that is 30% acid how much pure acid and how

Aloiza [94]

Answer: The volume of acid and water that must be mixed will be 4.8 L and 11.2 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of mixture = 16 L

Percent of acid present = 30 %

Calculating the percentage of acid present in the mixture:

$\Rightarrow 16\times \frac{30}{100}=4.8L$

The mixture is made entirely of acid and water.

Volume of acid in the mixture = 4.8 L

Volume of water in the mixture = 16 - 4.8 = 11.2 L

Hence, the volume of acid and water that must be mixed will be 4.8 L and 11.2 L

13. A gas occupies 4.31 liters at a pressure of 0.755 atm. Determine the volume if the

wariber [46]

Answer:

13. 2.60 L.

14. 2.40 L.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:

(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)

13. A gas occupies 4.31 liters at a pressure of 0.755 atm. Determine the volume if the pressure is increased to 1.25 atm.

P₁ = 0.755 atm, V₁ = 4.31 L.

P₂= 1.25 atm, V₂ = ??? L.

∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂) = (0.755 atm)(4.31 L)/(1.25 atm) = 2.60 L.

14. 600.0 mL of a gas is at a pressure of 8.00 atm. What is the volume of the gas at 2.00 at m.

P₁ = 8.0 atm, V₁ = 600.0 mL.

P₂= 2.0 atm, V₂ = ??? L.

∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂) = (8.0 atm)(600.0 mL)/(2.0 atm) = 2400/0 mL = 2.40 L.

_Li + __F2 → _LIF How do I balance this?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

2Li + F₂ → 2LiF

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

Li + F₂ → LiF

We are to balance the expression. In that case, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same.

Let use a mathematical approach to solve this problem;

Assign variables a,b and c as the coefficients that will balance the expression:

aLi + bF₂ → cLiF

Conserving Li: a = c

F: 2b = c

let a = 1, c = 1 and b = $\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply through by 2;

a = 2, b = 1 and c = 2

2Li + F₂ → 2LiF
