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>

What is the molality of a solution in which 0.42 moles aluminum chloride has been dissolved in 4200 water ?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.1 M

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Molarity refers to the concentration of a solution in moles per liter.
  • It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of solvent;
  • Molarity = Moles of the solute ÷ Volume of the solvent

<u>In this case, we are given;</u>

  • Number of moles of the solute, NH₄Cl as 0.42 moles
  • Volume of the solvent, water as 4200 mL or 4.2 L

Therefore;

Molarity = 0.42 moles ÷ 4.2 L

            = 0.1 mol/L or 0.1 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution will be 0.1 M

Complete and balance the following redox reaction in basic solution
inn [45]

Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid
