Mass number= atomic number + number of  neutrons.
A=Z+N
Z=number of protons=12
N=12

A=12+12=24

If, we have 12 protons and 10 electrons, the charge of this ion is +2

Therefore: mass number:24; charge: +2

Answer: a. mass number: 24; charge: +2

A block of ice is cooled from -0.5 degrees Celsius to -10.1 degrees Celsius. Calculate the temperature change, delta T, in degre
ss7ja [257]
Delta T= T final - T initial
Tfinal= -101.1 °C
Tinitial= -0.5 °C
•Delta T = -101.1°C - (-0.5°C)
=100.6°C

Kelvin= °C + 273
= -100.6 + 273
= 172.4 Kelvin

The ksp of lead iodide is 7.1 × 10-9. a chemical engineer adds 0.0025 mol of ki to a solution of 0.00004 mol pb(no3)2 in 500 ml
inn [45]
Answer is: n<span>o, because the ion product is less than the Ksp of lead iodide. </span>

Chemical dissociation 1: KI(s) → K⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq).
Chemical dissociation 2: Pb(NO₃)₂(s) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq).
Chemical reaction: Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s).
Ksp(PbI₂) = 7.1·10⁻⁹.
V = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.5 L.
c(KI) = c(I⁻) = 0.0025 mol ÷ 0.5 L.
c(I⁻) = 0.005 M.
c(Pb(NO₃)₂) = c(Pb²⁺) = 0.00004 mol ÷ 0.5 L.
c(Pb²⁺) = 0.00008 M.
Q = c(Pb²⁺) · c(I⁻)².
Q = 8·10⁻⁵ M · (5·10⁻³ M)².
Q = 2·10⁻⁹; <span> the ion product.</span>

Which statement describes a chemical property of water?
anygoal [31]
<span>The chemical description of water is H2O, which means, it is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The answer to this item is the fourth option, " It is clear and colorless." When water is added with calcium, clear, colorless bubbles are formed. This explains a reaction of water with acid. The following are additional facts about water properties: Density: 1 g/cm³ Boiling point: 100 °C Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol Melting point: 0 °C Formula: H2O</span>

Radium decays to form radon. Which equation correctly describes this decay? Superscript 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a righ
KiRa [710]

Answer: 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Representation of Radium decays to form Radon

^{226}_{88}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow ^{222}_{86}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}

Thus 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e represents alpha decay.
