What is the identity of an alpha particle?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Find δs∘ for the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to form ammonia:12n2(g) 32h2(g)→nh3(g)
Dima020 [189]

Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases react to form ammonia, which requires -99.4 J/K of standard entropy (ΔS°).

What is standard entropy?

The difference between the total standard entropies of the reaction mixture and the summation of the standard entropies of the outputs is the standard entropy change. Each entropy in the balanced equation needs to be compounded by its coefficient, as shown by the letter "n."

Calculation:

Balancing the given reaction following-

1/2 N₂(g) + 3/2 H₂ (g)→ NH₃ (g)

ΔS° = [1 mol x S° (NH₃)g] - [1/2 mol x S° (N₂)g] - [3/2 mol x S°(H₂)g]

Here S° = standard entropy of the system

Insert into the aforementioned equation all the typical entropy values found in the literature:

ΔS° = [1 mol x 192.45 J/mol.K] - [1/2 mol x 191.61 J/mol.K] - [3/2 mol x 130.684 J/mol.K]

⇒ΔS° = - 99.4 J/K

Therefore, the standard entropy, ΔS° is -99.4 J/K.

Taste buds at the back of your tongue are most responsive to sweet.<br> True<br> False
Nostrana [21]
They show equal response to every kind of taste , doesn't matter if sour , salty , sweet , pungent etc . that depends on what the person likes the most , if you like sugary edibles , then the brain would sense it and be happy about it , and show a greater tendency towards it.

The chemical equation below is correctly balanced.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of SO2 = 4.00 moles

STP = Pressure = 1 atm  and temperature = 273 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles SO2, we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles SO3

For 4.00 moles SO2 we need 4.00 / 2 = 2.00 moles O2

Step 4: Calculate volume of O2

For 1 mol we have a volume of 22.4 L

V = (n*R*T)/ p

V = (2.00 * 0.08206 * 273)/p

V = 44.8 L

For 2.00 moles we have a volume of 2*22.4 = 44.8 L

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)
