Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228

4vir4ik [10]

There are so many rock types around! Though, with all the rock types.. there are a few that we study within grade school and such. These types of rocks are,

-Igneous // Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

-Sedimentary // Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.

-Metamorphic //  The original rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing profound physical or chemical change.

dexar [7]
<span>Displaced volume:

final volume - initial volume :

38.55 mL - 15.75 mL = 22.8 mL

D = m /  V

D = 32.138 / 22.8

D = 1.409 g/mL

hope this helps!
