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

A gas has a volume of 50.0 cm3 at a temperature of -73°c. what volume would the gas occupy at a temperature of -123°c if the pre
vaieri [72.5K]

Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula  p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume  and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and  volume.

Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p 
V = 50.0 p / 2p

= 50.0 /2

= 25.0 m^3 
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2 
100 p = V x p 
V = 100 m^3 
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p 
V = 50.0 p / 3p

= 50.0 /3

=16.7 m^3

What is the difference between an atom an ion how to determine the charge
Eduardwww [97]

Explanation:

When an atom's outermost orbital gains or loses electrons (also known as valence electrons), the atom forms an ion. An ion with more protons than electrons carries a net positive charge and is called a cation. An ion with more electrons than protons carries a net negative charge and is called an anion

According to the below equation, how many moles of SO2 are required to generate 1.43×1024 water molecules?
podryga [215]
Make sure the equation is always balanced first. (It is balanced for this question already) 6.022 x 10^23 is Avogadro’s number. In one mole of anything there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, formula units, atoms. For one mol of an element/ compound use molar mass (grams).

Multiply everything on the top = 8.61x10^47
Multiple everything on bottom= 1.20x10^24
Divide top and bottom = 7.15x10^23

Answer: 7.15x10^23 mol SO2
