Which is also called an alpha particle?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Marina86 [1]4 years ago
8 0

Answer is: the nucleus of a helium atom.

Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.

For example, nuclear reaction:

²³⁴U → ²³⁰X + α (alpha particle).

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of copper. 63cu has a mass of 62.9296 amu. 65cu has a mass of 64.9278 amu. determine
SSSSS [86.1K]
1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%

Use the formation reactions below such that when added together, they match the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.
muminat

Answer:

ΔH of the reaction is -802.3kJ.

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can know ΔH of reaction by the sum of ΔH's of half-reactions.

Using the reactions:

<em>(1) </em>Cgraphite(s)+ 2H₂(g) → CH₄(g) ΔH₁ = −74.80kJ

<em>(2) </em>Cgraphite(s)+ O₂(g) → CO₂(g) ΔH₂ = −393.5k J

<em>(3) </em>H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH₃ = −241.80kJ

The sum of (2) - (1) produce:

CH₄(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ΔH' = -393.5kJ - (-74.80kJ) = -318.7kJ

And the sum of this reaction with 2×(3) produce:

CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) And ΔH = -318.7kJ + 2×(-241.80kJ) =

<em>-802.3kJ</em>

Question 3 (1 point) The extinction coefficient for copper sulfate in aqueous solution is 12 M-1.cm-1 at 800 nm. If the absorban
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The concentration of the copper sulfate solution is 83 mM.

Explanation:

The absorbance of a copper sulfate solution can be calculated using Beer-Lambert Law:

A = ε . c . <em>l</em>

where

ε is the extinction coefficient of copper sulfate (ε = 12 M⁻¹.cm⁻¹)

c is its molar concentration (what we are looking for)

l is the pathlength (0.50 cm)

We can use this expression to find the molarity of this solution:

c=\frac{A}{\epsilon.l } =\frac{0.5}{12M^{-1}cm^{-1}0.50cm  } =0.083M=83mM
