Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>

How many moles are in 110 grams of nahco3
yuradex [85]
Molar mass NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + 16 x 3 = 84 g/mol

1 mole ---------- 84 g
? mole ---------- 110 g

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 . 1 / 84

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 / 84

= 1.309 moles

hope this helps!

Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.

When ionic solids dissolve in water, they produce soluble aqueous cations and anions. For example, adding MgBr2 solids to water
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Al(NO3)3(s)--------> Al^3+(aq) + 3NO3^-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation shown above describes the dissolution of Al(NO3)3 in water using the lowest coefficients.

This occurs when solid Al(NO3)3 is added to water. It dissolves to give rise to ions as shown. This is a property of all ionic substances.
