Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

⁴¹Ca has an atomic number equal to 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons ad its neutral state. In the decay by electron capture, it will lose one electron and will become a cation, but the mass (41) and the atomic number will remain the same.

When Ca⁺ undergoes alpha decay, it will lose an alpha particle, which has mass 4 and 2 protons.

⁴¹₂₀Ca⁺ → ³⁷₁₈X⁺ + ⁴₂α

To be stable, X will lose a proton and will become ³⁷₁₇X. The element which has atomic number 17 is chlorine, Cl.

Helen [10]

Answer:

166 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the neutralization reaction

H₂A + 2 NaOH ⇒ Na₂A + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

48.3 mL of 0.0700 M NaOH react.

0.0483 L × 0.0700 mol/L = 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of H₂A

The molar ratio of H₂A to NaOH is 1:2. The reacting moles of H₂A are 1/2 × 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol = 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of H₂A

1.69 × 10⁻³ moles of H₂A have a mass of 0.281 g. The molar mass of H₂A is:

M = 0.281 g / 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol = 166 g/mol

Explain why a potassium atom would not bond with a calcium atom?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Calcium atoms have smaller radii than potassium atoms since calcium atoms have a greater nuclear charge. Each calcium atom will be closer to the delocalized electrons. Thus, the bonds in calcium will be stronger than that in potassium.

A 10.0-gram sample of H2O(l) at 23.0°C absorbs 209 joules of heat. What is the final temperature of the H2O(l) sample?(1) 5.0°C
Aliun [14]
The specific heat capacity of water is 4200J/(kg*℃). So when absorbs 209 joules, the water sample will increase 209/(4200*0.01)=5℃. So the final temperature of sample is 23+5=28℃.

The valence of aluminum is +3, and the valence of chlorine is –1. The formula for aluminum chloride is
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>The correct option is C.i.e. AlCl3 Given: The valence of aluminum is +3, and the valence of chlorine is –1. Thus, 3 chlorine atoms each of (-1 charge )combine to make the charge balance because of Al (3+). Thus, 1 atom of Aluminum (Al) binds with three atoms of Chlorine (Cl).Thus, the net foromula becomes AlCl3</span>
