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

What is the molarity of a solution containing 55.8 g of mgcl2 dissolved in 1.00 l of solution?
MakcuM [25]
The answer is 0.59 M.

Molar mass (Mr) of MgCl₂ is the sum of the molar masses of its elements.
So, from the periodic table:
Mr(Mg) = 24.3 g/l
Mr(Cl) = 35.45 g/l
Mr(MgCl₂) = Mr(Mg) + 2Mr(Cl) = 24.3 + 2 · 35.45 = 24.3 + 70.9 = 95.2 g/l

So, 1 mol has 95.2 g/l.

Our solution contains 55.8g in 1 l  of solution, which is 55.8 g/l

Now, we need to make a proportion:
1 mole has 95.2 g/l, how much moles will have 55.8 g/l:
1 M : 95.2 g/l = x : 55.8 g/l
x = 1 M · 55.8 g/l ÷ 95.2 g/l ≈ 0.59 M

Which substance would have the highest melting point, based on electronegativity?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Based electronegativity, water H₂O will have the higher melting point from the given choices. The binding force between hydrogen and oxygen is greater than for the others.

  • In group 6, oxygen has the highest electronegativity.
  • It pulls the shared electron closer in the bond.
  • The high electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen causes the elevated melting point between the two species.
