Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
Explanation: since oxalic acid is a weak acid it wont provide a strong acidic medium. So in order to provide a strong acidic medium dilute sulphuric acid is added.
No, don't try, it will explode close to 187 kPa
Explanation:
Use the density formula to determine the volume of the piece of metal.
density
=
mass
volume
Rearrange the equation to isolate volume.
volume
=
mass
density
volume
=
147
g
7.00
g
mL
=
21.0 mL
The final volume in the cylinder after adding the piece of metal is
20.0 mL
+
21.0 mL
=
41.0 mL
