Answer:

Explanation:

There are no unpaired electrons in the given element. It must be noted that for the atom above, we have even numbered electrons. The total electron we are having here is 18.

Now, we must also know that while the s orbital is not degenerate, the P orbital is degenerate. What this mean is that the p orbital is broken down into three different sub orbitals which is the Px , Py and Pz. Hence we can see that there are 6 electrons to enter into the P orbital too.

We can see that all the S orbitals have been completely filled with two electrons alike each. This is also the case for the P orbital as the 3 suborbitals take in 2 each to give a total of six

How much energy is released by the decay of 3 grams of 230Th in the following reaction 230 Th - 226Ra + "He (230 Th = 229.9837 g

Serhud [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to calculate the mass defect $(\Delta m)$ .

The equation for the alpha decay of thorium nucleus follows:

$_{90}^{230}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{88}^{226}\textrm{Ra}+_2^{4}\textrm{He}$

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

$\Delta m=(m_{Ra}+m_{He})-(m_{Th})$

$\Delta m=(225.9771+4.008)-(229.9837)=1.4\times 10^{-3}amu=2.324\times 10^{-30}kg$

(Conversion factor: $1amu=1.66\times 10^{-27}kg$ )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

$E=\Delta mc^2$

$E=(2.324\times 10^{-30}kg)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2$

$E=2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

The energy released for 230 grams of decay of thorium is $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

We need to calculate the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of thorium. By applying unitary method, we get:

As, 230 grams of Th release energy of = $2.0916\times 10^{-13}J$

Then, 3 grams of Th will release energy of = $\frac{2.0916\times 10^{-13}}{230}\times 3=2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

Hence, the energy released for the decay of 3 grams of 230-Thorium is $2.728\times 10^{-15}J$

A 10.0 ml portion of 0.010 m hcl is diluted by adding it to100.0 ml of water. what is the ph of the solution

Volgvan

From the calculation, the pH of the solution after dilution is 3.

The pH is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution. Now we know that;

C1 = 0.010 m

V1 = 10.0 ml

V2 = 10.0 ml + 100.0 ml = 110 ml

C2 = ?

C1V1 = C2V2

C2 = C1V1 /V2

C2 = 0.010 m * 10.0 ml / 110 ml

C2 = 0.00091 M

pH = -log[0.00091 M]

pH = 3
