When radium-226 (atomic number-88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d. Radon-222

Explanation:

²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn  + ⁴₂He

Alpha particle is a helium nucleus with mass number 4 and atomic number 2. According to the law of conversation of mass, the sum of the mass number and atomic number must be equal on both side of the reaction.  

Since the mass number of Ra is 226 and that of He is 4. The mass number of the unknown element must be 226 - 4 = 222.  

Since the atomic number of Ra is 88 and that of He is 2. The atomic number of the unknown element must be 88 - 2 = 86.  

Now looking in the periodic table Radon is the only element with atomic number 86.

A particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called a(n)
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is electrons.

Explanation:

The electrons refer to the negatively charged constituents, which are arranged in the orbits around the nucleus of an atom. It determines all the chemical and physical characteristics of an atom except the radioactivity and mass.  It is a stable subatomic particle witnessed in all the atoms and functioning as the chief carrier of electricity in solids.

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a flas
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Kp = 0.022

Explanation:

<em>Full question: ...With 2.3 atm of ammonia gas at 32. °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 0.69 atm. </em>

<em />

The equilibrium of ammonia occurs as follows:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{N_2}P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2}

<em>Where P represents partial pressure of each gas.</em>

<em />

As initial pressure of ammonia is 2.3atm, its equilibrium concentration will be:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2X

<em>Where X represents reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Thus, pressure of hydrogen and nitrogen is:

P(N₂) = X

P(H₂) = 3X.

As partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.69atm:

3X = 0.69

X = 0.23atm:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2(0.23atm) = 1.84atm

P(N₂) = 0.23atm

P(H₂) = 0.69atm

Kp = \frac{0.23atm*0.69atm^3}{1.84atm^2}

<h3>Kp = 0.022</h3>

if the Celsius temperature of a gas at constant pressure is increased from 10 Celsius to 20 Celsius the volume is
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

               The volume is increased.

Explanation:

                     According to <em>Charles' Law</em>, " <em>at constant pressure the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional to each other</em>". Mathematically this law is presented as;

                                                    V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂   -----(1)

In statement the data given is,

T₁  =  10 °C  =  283.15 K                    ∴  K  =  273.15 + °C

T₂  =  20 °C  =  293.15 K

So, it is clear that the temperature is being increased hence, we will find an increase in volume. Let us assume that the starting volume is 100 L, so,

V₁  =  100 L

V₂  =  Unknown

Now, we will arrange equation 1 for V₂ as,

                                                    V₂  =  V₁ × T₂ / T₁

Putting values,

                                     V₂  = 100 L × 293.15 K / 283.15 K

                                     V₂  = 103.52 L

Hence, it is proved that by increasing temperature from 10 °C to 20 °C resulted in the increase of Volume from 100 L to 103.52 L.

yaroslaw [1]

The position is the strength of the magnetic field strongest is is the place where the magnetic field leaves, being point A.

<h3>What generates a magnetic field?</h3>

When an electrically charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field. According to the laws of electromagnetism, this magnetic field originates from the variation of the electric field strength.

In the region of the poles we see that the lines of magnetic induction are closer to each other, therefore, we consider that close to the poles the magnetic field is more intense.
