Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

The molecular weight of a gas that has a density of 5.75 g/l at stp is __________ g/mol.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : The molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Density of a gas = 5.75 g/L

First we have to calculate the moles of gas.

At STP,

As, 22.4 liter volume of gas present in 1 mole of gas

So, 1 liter volume of gas present in $\frac{1}{22.4}=0.0446$ mole of gas

Now we have to calculate the molecular weight of a gas.

Formula used :

$\text{Moles of gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of a gas}}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the molecular weight of a gas.

$0.0446mole=\frac{5.75g}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}$

$\text{Molecular weight of a gas}=128.9g/mole$

Therefore, the molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

When a solution forms, what interactions between particles are involved? Which are exothermic? Which are endothermic?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three types of interactions involved between the particles when solution are formed.

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

It is the inter-molecular attraction between the solute particles.

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

It involve the inter-molecular attraction between solvent and solute particles.

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

It involve the intermolecular attraction between solvent particles.

Solutions are formed if the intermolecular attraction between solute particles are similar to the attraction between solvent particles.

Exothermic process:

The process will exothermic when solute solvent bonds are formed with the release of energy and energy required to brake the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are less.

Endothermic process:

The process will be endothermic when energy required to break the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are higher than energy released when solute solvent bonds are formed .

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

$ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =$ -Δ $\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}} )$

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

$T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}$

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C
