Answer:

<span><span>22688</span>Ra→<span>l<span>22286</span></span>Rn+<span>l<span>42</span></span>He</span>

Explanation:

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation:

<span><span>22688</span>Ra→<span>l<span>22286</span></span>Rn+<span>l<span>42</span></span>He</span>

Note that the sum of the subscripts (atomic numbers or charges) is the same on each side of the equation.

Also, the sum of the superscripts (masses) is the same on each side of the equation.

Now try figuring out Am-241

At 25 °C, an aqueous solution has an equilibrium concentration of 0.00253 M for a generic cation, A2+(aq), and 0.00506 M for a g
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant Ksp of the generic salt AB2 =  6.4777 *10^-8 M

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

AB2 ⇒ A2+ + 2B-

Step 2: Given data

Concentration of A2+ = 0.00253 M

Concentration of B- = 0.00506 M

Step 3: Calculate the equilibrium constant

Equilibrium constant Ksp of [AB2] = [A2+][B-]²

Ksp = 0.00253 * 0.00506² = 6.4777 *10^-8 M

The equilibrium constant Ksp of the generic salt AB2 =  6.4777 *10^-8 M

What is the proper way of collection, preservation and transition of hair?​
Murrr4er [49]
An investigator can collect hairs they observe visually (with tweezers or by hand), and they can also use clear tape to lift non-visible hair from a variety of surfaces, such as clothing. Other methods of hair sample collection include combing and clipping methods.
