Answer: It is a helium nuclei.

Explanation: Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}

Alpha particles are identical to helium nucleus. So alpha particles and helium nucleus are infact the same.
its Atomic Mass = 4
its Atomic number = 2
So it has two electrons , two neutrons.
It generally occurs in the decaying of a substance.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl → BaCl2 + 2 H2O

The reactants are present in equimolar amounts, so there is no excess or limiting reactants.

(0.0500 L) x (0.600 mol/L HCl) x (2 mol H2O / 2 mol HCl) = 0.0300 mol H2O

(4.184 J/g·°C) x (50.0 g + 50.0 g) x (25.82 - 21.73)°C = 1711.256 J

(1711.256 J) / (0.0300 mol H2O) = 57042 J/mol = 57.0 kJ/mol H2O
