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

What does the atomic weight of an element represent
Marrrta [24]

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

How much heat is added if 0.0318g of water is increased in temperature by 0.364 degrees C?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

0.04838J

Explanation:

Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature between the bodies , here heat is added to the water as a result of temperature change of 0.364 degreesC

Given:change in temperature=0.364

Mass of water=0.0318g

But we need specific heat capacity of water which is

4.2 J/g°C

Then we can calculate How much heat is added by using below formula

Energy = Mass * specific heat capacity *(change in temperature)

energy =0.0318g* 4.18g*0.364

=0.04838J
