What happens to the mass number of a nucleus that emits an alpha particle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago
8 0

The mass number decreases by four.

An α particle is the <em>nucleus of a helium atom</em>, ₂⁴He.

Thus, if a nucleus emits an alpha particle, its <em>mass number decreases by </em>four.

How many moles of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) can be produced from 9.65 mole of Fluorine gas (F2)
user100 [1]

Answer:

6.43 moles of NF₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3F₂ —> 2NF₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) produced by the reaction of 9.65 moles of Fluorine gas (F₂). This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Therefore, 9.65 moles of F₂ will react to to produce = (9.65 × 2)/3 = 6.43 moles of NF₃.

Thus, 6.43 moles of NF₃ were obtained from the reaction.

How do you know if a compound will dissociate or ionize in water?
Ivenika [448]

when an ionic or covalent compound is dissolved in water they break apart into ions through process called dissociation ..the ions get attracted by the water molecules and hence they carry polar charges ..and if there is a conduction of electricity. .then we get to know that a compound is dissociated ..

When 0.5141 g of biphenyl (C12H10) undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises from 25.823 °C to 29.419 °C
natka813 [3]

Answer:

\Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol

\Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Temperature\,\,change= \Delta U = 29.419-25.823 =3.506^{o}C

q_{cal}= C \times \Delta T

=5.861 \times 3.596 = 21.076\,kJ

q_{rxn}= -q_{cal}= -21.076\,kJ

\Delta_{r}U= -21.076 \times \frac{154}{0.5141}= -6313\, kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}U of the reaction is -6313 kJ/mol.

The chemical reaction in bomb calorimeter  is as follows.

C_{12}H_{10}(s)+\frac{27}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 12CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}O(g)

Number\,of\,moles\Delta n=(12+5)-\frac{27}{2}=3.5

\Delta_{r}H=\Delta E+ \Delta n. RT

=-6313+3.5\times 8.314\times 10^{-3} \times 3.596=-6312\,kJ/mol

Therefore, \Delta_{r}H of the reaction is -6312 kJ/mol.
