What is the balanced equation for alpha decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KiRa [710]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Explanation:

Alpha decay:

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.

Properties of alpha radiation:

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

How do chemical weathering and the formation of biochemical sediment remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the geosp
Sav [38]
The chemical weathering process of carbonation removes carbon from the atmosphere. In this process, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mixes with rainfall to form carbonic acid. This acid then reacts with calcium carbonate or limestone to form calcium bicarbonate. This reaction removes carbon from the atmosphere. Organisms such as corals can remove dissolved carbon from oceans to form their hard rocky structures. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is dissolved in ocean water. Overtime they become limestone rock.

When rubidium ions are heated to a high temperature, two lines are observed in its line spectrum at wavelengths (a) 7.9 × 10−7 m
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The frequencies of the two lines are:

a) 3.79\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

b)7.14\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

When we heat rubidium compound we will see red color.

Explanation:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

a) Frequency of the light when wavelength is equal to 7.9\times 10^{-7} m

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s)}{7.9\times 10^{-7}}

\nu=3.79\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

This frequency corresponds to red light

b) Frequency of the light when wavelength is equal to 4.2\times 10^{-7} m

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s)}{4.2\times 10^{-7}}

\nu=7.14\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

This frequency corresponds to violet light

When we heat rubidium compound we will see red color.
