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

a 0.1 kg slinky sits at the top of a staircase with 14 J of potential energy. How high is the staircase?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: The staircase is 14.28 m high.

Explanation:

Given : Mass = 0.1 kg

Potential energy = 14 J

Potential energy is the energy occupied by the position of a substance. Therefore, formula for potential energy is as follows.

P.E = mgh

where,

m = mass

g = gravitational energy = 9.8 m/s^{2}

h = height of object

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

P.E = m \times g \times h\\14 J = 0.1 kg \times 9.8 m/s^{2} \times h\\h = \frac{14 J}{0.1 kg \times 9.8 m/s^{2}}\\= \frac{14 J}{0.98 m kg/s^{2}}\\= 14.28 Js^{2}/ mkg          (1 J s^{2}/m kg = 1 m)\\= 14.28 m

Thus, we can conclude that the staircase is 14.28 m high.

n Part B, suppose the tablet was mostly dissolved when some of your solution splashed out of the beaker as CO2 continued to evol
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The perceived mass of CO2 would not be affected in large quantities because the splash constitutes small particles of water with sodium bicarbonate that is still reacting. The final calculated mass of sodium bicarbonate in the tablet would be artificially low.

Explanation:

Effervescence is a chemical process that involves the reaction of an acid with a carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, releasing carbon dioxide through a liquid. An example is seen in carbonated beverages, in these the gas that escapes from the liquid is carbon dioxide. The bubbles that are seen are produced by the effervescence of the dissolved gas, which by itself is not visible in its dissolved form.

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Make certain each sentence is comple
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The ionic bond in NaCl are stronger than the stronger than the dispersion forces in HCl.

The hydrogen bonds in H2O are stronger than the dispersion forces in H2Se

Hydrogen bonds in NH3 are stronger than the dipole-dipole attractions in PH3.

Hydrogen bonds in HF are stronger than the dispersion forces in F2

Explanation:

Ionic bonds occur in molecules with high differences in their electronegative value where there are actual transfer of electrons. HCl has a bond which is involved in the sharing of electrons.

Hydrogen bonds are present in H2O which is stronger than the dispersion forces.

PH3 is a larger molecule with greater dispersion forces than ammonia, NH3 has very polar N-H bonds leading to strong hydrogen bonding. This dominant intermolecular force results in a greater attraction between NH3 molecules than there is between PH3 molecules.

F2 is a non-polar molecule, therefore they have London dispersion forces between molecules while HF has a hydrogen bond because F is highly electronegative.
