What is the identity of an alpha particle?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Marianna [84]3 years ago

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.

Kay [80]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In science, we like to develop explanations that we can use to predict the outcome of events and phenomena. Try to develop an explanation that tells how much NaOH needs to be added to a beaker of HCl to cause the color to change. Your explanation can be something like: The color change will occur when [some amount] of NaOH is added because the color change occurs when [some condition]. The goal for your explanation is that it describes the outcome of this example, but can also be used to predict the outcome of other examples of this phenomenon. Here's an example explanation: The color of the solution will change when 40 ml of NaOH is added to a beaker of HCl because the color always changes when 40ml of base is added. Although this explanation works for this example, it probably won't work in examples where the flask contains a different amount of HCl, such as 30ml. Try to make an explanation that accurately predicts the outcome of other versions of this phenomenon.

Solution :

Consider the equation of the reaction between NaOH and $HCl$

  NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl(aq) + $H_2O (l)$

The above equation tells us that $1 \text{mole}$ of $NaOH$ reacts with $1 \text{mole}$ of $HCl$.

So at the equivalence point, the moles of NaOH added = moles of $HCl$present.

If the volume of the $HCl$ taken = $V_1$ mL and the conc. of $HCl$ = $M_1$  mole/L

The volume of NaOH added up to the color change = $V_2 \text{  and conc of NaOH = M}_2$ mole/L

Moles of $HCl$ taken = $V_1 \ mL \times M_1 \ mol/100 \ mL = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$  moles.

The color change will occur when the moles of NaOH added is equal to the moles of $HCl$ taken.

Thus when $V_1 M_1 \times 10^{-3} = V_2M_2 \times 10^{-3}$

or   when    $V_1M_1 = V_2M_2$

or $V_2=\frac{V_1M_1}{M_2}$  mL of NaOH added, we observe the color change.

Where $V_1, M_1$ are the volume and molarity of the $HCl$ taken.

$M_2$ is the molarity of NaOH added.

When both the NaOH and $HCl$ are of the same concentrations, i.e. if $M_1=M_2$, then $V_2=V_1$

Or the 40 mL of $HCl$ will need 40 mL of NaOH for a color change and

30 mL of $HCl$ would need 30 mL of NaOH for the color change (provided the concentration $M_1=M_2$)

Use the unbalanced equation NH3+O2=NO+H2O to find the mole ratio between NO and H2O
Leona [35]

Answer:

For every 4 moles of NO created, 6 moles of H2O are created so the ratio is 4:6

Explanation:

You just need to balance the equation.

NH3 + O2 -> NO + H2O

1. I started with hydrogen; there's 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply them together to find a number they both go into (3×2=6, but in this case 6 hydrogen on each side does not work so I doubled it so there is 12 hydrogen on each side).

This will bring you to this:

4NH3 + O2 -> NO + 6H2O

2. Now get equal amounts of nitrogen on each side. There's 4 nitrogen on the left side, and 1 on the right. Multiply the right by 4. Then you will have this:

4NH3 + O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

3. Last thing you need to do is have the same amount of oxygen on both sides. On the left you have 2 and on the right you have 10. Get the left to 10 by multiplying it by 5.

Balanced: 4NH3 + 5O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

In word form, for every reaction between 4 moles of ammonia and 5 moles of oxygen, 4 moles of nitric oxide and 6 moles of water will be created.

I hope this helps!

A gas has a volume of 240 mL and a pressure of 0.99 atm. If the pressure is decreased to 0.951 atm, what is the new volume of th
irakobra [83]

V2 = 250 ml

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 0.99 atm. V1 = 240 ml

P2 = 0.951 atm. V2 = ?

We can use Boyle's law to solve for V2

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = (P1/P2)V1

= (0.99 atm/0.951 atm)(240 ml)

= 250. ml
