Answer:

⁴He₂ → ⁴Li₃ + ⁰e₋₁.

Explanation:

Helium decays with the release of an electron to form a lithium nucleus.

The number of nucleons is the same on both sides of the equation.

A neutron decays to form a proton with the release of an electron.

The atomic number increases from 2 to 3 while the atomic mass number stays the same at 4 nucleons.

The molar mass of lif is 25.94 g/mol. how many moles of lif are present in 10.37 g?

zalisa [80]

Number of moles is (actual mass)/(molar mass)
So there are 10.37/25.94 mols
So there are 0.3998 (or 0.4) moles

2. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to estimate the pH of a buffer solution that is composed of 20 mL of 10 M sodium forma

Mkey [24]

Answer:

pH of buffer =4.75

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:

$pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

Given:

pKa = 3.75

concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M

concentration of salt = concentration of sodium formate = 10 M

$pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75$

pH of buffer =4.75
