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.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

The element antimony has an atomic weight of 122 and consists of two stable isotopes antimony-121 and antimony-123. the isotope
grin007 [14]

Answer:-  123 amu.

Solution:- The formula to calculate the average atomic mass of an atom is:

Average atomic mass = mass of first isotope(abundance of first isotope) + mass of second isotope(abundance of second isotope)

Note: The percent abundance is converted to decimals.

mass of Sb-121 is 121 amu and it's percent abundance is 57.3% and in decimal it is 0.573. Percent abundance of Sb-123 is 42.8% and in decimal it is 0.428. We are asked to calculate it's mass. The average atomic mass of Sb is given as 122.

Let's say the mass of Sb-123 is M and  plug in the values in the formula and do calculations:

122 = 121(0.573) + M(0.428)

122 = 69.333 + M(0.428)

On rearrangement:-

M(0.428) = 122 - 69.333

M(0.428) = 52.667

M=\frac{52.667}{0.428}

M = 123

So, the mass of Sb-123 is 123 amu.

The haber process is typically carried out at a temperature of approximately 500∘c. What would happen to the rate of the forward
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The reaction rate would decrease

Explanation:

The equation for the Haber process is given by;

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇆ 2NH₃(g)

  • The reaction occurs at a temperature of 500°C
  • Therefore, the forward reaction requires a temperature of 500°C.
  • According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a factor affecting equilibrium is altered, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that counteracts the effect causing it.
  • In this case, decreasing the temperature to 100°C will lower the rate of the forward reaction.
  • Consequently, less ammonia gas will be produced as the reverse reaction is favored.

What happens during a phase change from a solid to a liquid?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The particles of the solid vibrate faster and faster. After a while, they can start to move around

Explanation: Solid particles movement are restricted due to the strong force of attraction between the molecules,Solid phase will only change to liquid phase if the forces of attraction holding the molecules together are broken down by heat, when this happens the solid particles movement will become more mobile as the substance is moving from solid phase and liquid phase
