Answer:

Explanation:

Aluminium is a silvery-white, lightweight metal. It is soft and malleable. Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and aeroplane parts. This is because of its particular properties.

Aluminum cannot be even decomposed (separated by chemical methods) in two or more elemental substances (or elements), thus it is also an element.

What mass of bromine reacts with 16.2 g of aluminium?

Goshia [24]

For every, 3 Br- ions, 1 Al3+ ion reacts to form AlBr3.

Convert 16.2g of aluminum to moles:

16.2g Al / 27.0g per mol = 0.60 mols.

Based on the above ratio, 0.60 mols of Al will react with 1.8 mols of Br.

Convert 1.8 mols of Br to its mass:

1.8 mols Br × 79.9g per mol = 143.82g of Br.

What happens to isotopes that are unstable?

Lesechka [4]

Explanation:

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which differs in the number of neutrons. The isotopes which are unstable are known as radioactive isotope. A radioactive (unstable )isotope can undergo 3 decay process:

1. Alpha Decay: In this decay process, a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The particle released has a charge of +2 and a mass of 4 units.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta-minus decay: In this decay process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron. the particle released during this process is a beta-particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Beta-plus decay: In this decay process, a protons gets converted into a neutron and electron-neutrino particle. The particle released during this process is a positron particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta$
