Answer:

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:

Step 1

This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.

A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

What is the volume of a balloon containing 0.75 moles of gas at STP?

disa [49]

Answer:

V = 16.81 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 0.75 mol

Temperature = standard = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Volume of balloon = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will rearrange the formula.

V = nRT/P

V = 0.75 mol ×0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273 K / 1 atm

V = 16.81 atm.L/ 1 atm

V = 16.81 L

Classify the following as acid-Base reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions:

postnew [5]

Explanation:

(a) $Na_2S+HCl\rightarrow H_2S+2NaCl$

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.

(b) $2Na+2HCl\rightarrow H_2+2NaCl$

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because sodium in elemental state ( 0 oxidation state) oxidizes to Na⁺ in NaCl. Also H⁺ in HCl reduces to H° in H₂.

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because magnesium in elemental state ( 0 oxidation state) oxidizes to Mg²⁺ in MgCl₂. Also Cl° in Cl₂ reduces to Cl⁻ in MgCl₂.

(d) $MgO+2HCl\rightarrow H_2O+MgCl_2$

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.

(e) $K_3P+2O_2\rightarrow K_3PO_4$

This is a oxidation reduction reaction because phosphorous in P³⁻ in K₃P oxidizes to P⁵⁺ in K₃PO₄ and oxygen reduces.

(f) $3KOH+H_3PO_4\rightarrow K_3PO_4 + 3H_2O$

This is acid base reaction because there is no change of oxidation state on either side of the reaction.
