Alpha decay _____ of an element.

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
5 0
Alpha decay lowers the atomic number of an element. The correct option is B. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which is an helium particle. During this process, the atomic number of the nucleus is reduced by two and the mass number is reduced by 4.

How much heat is evolved in converting 1.00 mol of steam at 155.0 ∘c to ice at -50.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of steam is 2.01 j/(g
Ne4ueva [31]
When the specific heat capacity of the water is 4.18 J/g.°C so, we are going to use this formula to get the heat for cooling three  phases changes from steam to liquid and from liquid to ice (solid) :

when Q = M*C*ΔT 

Q is the heat in J

and M is the mass in gram = 1 mol H2O * 18 g/mol(molar mass) = 18 g

C is the specific heat J/g.°C

ΔT is the change in temperature

Q = Mw *[ ( Csteam * ΔTsteam)+(Cw*ΔTw) + (Cice  * ΔT ice)]

    = 18 g * [(2.01 * (155-100°C)) + (4.18 * (100-0°C)) + (2.09 * (0 - 55 °C))]

∴Q = 7444.8 J

and when we know that the heat of fusion for water = 334J/g

and heat of vaporization for water =  2260J/g


∴Q for the two phases changes = M * (2260+334) 

                                                      = 18 * (2260+334)

                                                      = 46692 J 

∴ Q total = 7444.8 + 46692 = 54136.8 J

Explain why ionic compound do not form molecules.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero

(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive

or negative charge or valence and is not stable.

A chemist sets up a chemical reaction but finds that none of the reactant molecules have a required activation energy. What is t
Anvisha [2.4K]

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that the colliding reactant molecules must possess for the formation of products. Lower the activation energy, higher will be chance of formation of products. So activation energy is the minimum energy requirement that has to overcome for the reaction to be completed. Therefore, when in a chemical reaction the reactant molecules do not collide with required activation energy, the collisions will not be fruitful even if they are properly oriented which means that the products will not form.

Hence the correct answer will be B.) no products will be formed

Is this an example of decomposition<br> 2CH4 + 402 → 2C02 + 4H2O
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Identify each equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

Fe2O3 + 3 SO3 → Fe2(SO4)3

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2

Solution

In this equation, two substances combine to make a single substance. This is a composition reaction.

Two different substances react to make two new substances. This does not fit the definition of either a composition reaction or a decomposition reaction, so it is neither. In fact, you may recognize this as a double-replacement reaction.

A single substance reacts to make multiple substances. This is a decomposition reaction.

Test Yourself

Identify the equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

C3H8 → C3H4 + 2 H2
