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.

How many atoms are in 3.690 moles of oxygen
sweet [91]

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number.  

So, 1 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23 molecules  

3 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23x3 molecules  

= 1.8069x10^24 molecules  

Each molecule of Oxygen has 2 atoms.  

therefore,  

1.8069x10^24 molecules= 1.8069x10^24 x 2 atoms  

= 3.6138x10^24 atoms.

TEA [102]
So to balance an equation, you need to get the same amount of each type of element on either side of the --> . So you pretty much are given the subscripts in the equations and you need to add coefficients (just normal numbers) in front of any formula that needs it, keeping anything balance.
KCl_{3}  + O_{2}  -\ \textgreater \  KCl_{3}
turns into
2KCl_{3}+ 3O_{2} -> 2KCl_{3}

These coefficient numbers are the molar ratios, so 2 moles of KCl3 for every 3 moles of O2   so 1. 3:2

Then you can use these ratios of find out how many moles of one thing are needed if you are given the amount of another.
\frac{moles of element 1}{cofficient 1}  =  \frac{moles of element 2}{cofficient 2}
and use cross multiplication to solve for whatever you don't know
