When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.

A. NaCl(s) and O2(g)

B. 2NaClO3(s) —> 2NaCl(s) + 3O2(g)

C. moles NaClO3 = 100 g / 106.44 g/mol = 0.939 mol NaClO3

D. 0.939 mol NaCl (because the NaClO3 and NaCl are in a 1 to 1 ratio)

E. grams NaCl = 0.939 mol • 58.44 g/mol = 54.9 g NaCl

F. moles of O2 = 0.939 mol NaClO3 • (3 mol O2 / 2 mol NaClO3) = 1.41 mol O2

G. grams of O2 = 1.41 mol • 32 g/mol = 45.1 g O2

H. Percent yield = 10/45.1 • 100% = 22.2% yield

When a barium atom loses two electrons what charge does it have
Darya [45]

Answer:

It becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases

Explanation:

As per the Octet rule, Barium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. When it loses the two electron it gains two positive charge i.e Ba2+. As the barium loses the two electron from its outermost shell, the outermost shell becomes vacant and thus is no more considered as a part of atomic geometry of the barium atom and since the outermost shell is considered negligible the radius of barium atom reduces automatically.
