Alpha partical is a He nucleus. When decaying alpha particle mass is reduced by 4 and atomic number is reduced by 2.

The actual element which has 102 protons is No (Nobelium). 
Since it has 167 neutrons, the mass = protons + neutrons = 102 + 167 = 269

after an alpha decay, the new element formed has 100 protons which is Fm ( Fermium)

the alpha decaying equation is,

    ₁₀₂²⁶⁹No → ₁₀₀²⁶⁵Fm + ₂⁴α + heat

the total mass and the atomic number( numbe rof protons) must be equal in both sides.

How many moles of O2 are needed to burn 2.56 moles of CH3OH?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

n_{O_2}=3.84molO_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the combustion reaction of methanol is:

CH_3OH+\frac{3}{2} O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In such a way, since there is 1:3/2 mole ratio between methanol and oxygen, we can compute the moles of oxygen that are needed to burn 2.56 moles of methanol as shown below:

n_{O_2}=2.56molCH_3OH*\frac{\frac{3}{2}molO_2}{1molCH_3OH} \\\\n_{O_2}=3.84molO_2

Best regards!
