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

A 50.0 mL graduated cylinder has a mass of 65.1 g. When it is filled with an unknown liquid to the 49.3 mL mark, the cylinder an

Delvig [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The density of liquid is $1.12g/cm^3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of cylinder, $m_1$ = 65.1 g

Mass of liquid and cylinder combined, M = 120.5 g

Mass of liquid, $m_2$ = $(M-m_1)=(120.5-65.1)g=55.4g$

To calculate density of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

We are given:

Mass of liquid = 55.4 g

Volume of liquid = 49.3 mL = $49.3 cm^3$ (Conversion factor: $1mL=1cm^3$ )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of liquid}=\frac{55.4g}{49.3cm^3}\\\\\text{Density of liquid}=1.12g/cm^3$

Hence, the density of liquid is $1.12g/cm^3$

2. A chemical analysis of a sample provides the following elemental data:

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C3 H6 O2

Explanation:

first divide their mass by their respective molar mass, we get:

30.4 moles of C

61.2 moles of H

20.25 moles of O

now divide everyone by the smallest one of them then we get

C= 1.5

H= 3

O= 1

since our answer of C is not near to any whole number so we will multiply all of them by 2

so,

C3 H6 O2 is our answer
