Answer : The internal energy change is, -506.3 kJ/mol
Explanation :
Formula used :
or,
where,
= change in enthalpy = 
= change in internal energy = ?
= change in moles
Change in moles = Number of moles of product side - Number of moles of reactant side
According to the reaction:
Change in moles = 0 - 2 = -2 mole
That means, value of 
= 0
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = temperature = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the internal energy change is -506.3 kJ/mol
Prepare a 1% copper sulfate solution. To make this solution, weigh 1 gram of copper sulfate (CuSO4 ·5H2O), dissolve in a small amount of distilled water in a 100 ml volumetric flask and bring to volume. Label this as 1% copper sulfate solution.
Answer:
A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means. A compound is not a pure substance because it is not an element, and only elements are pure substances.

Answer:</h3>
8 alpha particles
4 beta particles
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Neptunium-237
- Thallium-205
- Neptunium-237 undergoes beta and alpha decay to form Thallium-205.
We are required to determine the number of beta and alpha particles produced to complete the decay series.
- We need to know that when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle the mass number reduces by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- When a beta particle is emitted the mass number of the radioisotope increases by 1 while the atomic number remains the same.
In this case;
Neptunium-237 has an atomic number 93, while,
Thallium-205 has an atomic number 81.
Therefore;
²³⁷₉₃Np → x⁴₂He + y⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
We can get x and y
237 = 4x + y(0) + 205
237-205 = 4x
4x = 32
x = 8
On the other hand;
93 = 2x + (-y) + 81
but x = 8
93 = 16 -y + 81
y = 4
Therefore, the complete decay equation is;
²³⁷₉₃Np → 8⁴₂He + 4⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
Thus, Neptunium-237 emits 8 alpha particles and 4 beta particles to become Thallium-205.
