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.

What is the molar mass of a gas if 0.102 g of the gas occupies 0.070 L at STP? a. 32.6g / mol b. 28.2 g/mol c. 40.0g / mol d. 47
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A. 32.6 g/mol

Explanation:

First convert the volume of gas to moles using the ratio 1 mol / 22.4 L at STP.

0.070 L • (1 mol / 22.4 L) = 0.00313 mol

Now divide the grams of gas by the moles of gas:

0.102 g / 0.00313 mol = 32.6 g/mol

Water is flowing in a pipe with a mass flow rate of 100.0 lb/h (M water H,O=18.016). What is the (i) Molar flow rate of H20 (gmo
Arada [10]

Answer:

i) 0,7 molH20/s

ii)11,2 g O/s

iii)1,4 g H/s

Explanation:

i) To find the molar flow rate of water, we just convert the mass of water to moles of water using its molecular weight(g/mol) and changing to the proper units (lb to grames and hours to seconds):

100 \frac{lb}{h}*\frac{453,5g}{1 lb}*\frac{1molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=0,7\frac{molH20}{s}

ii) Now we just consider the oxygen in the water stream (for 1 mole of water there is 1 mole of oxygen):

100\frac{lb}{h} *\frac{453,5g}{1lb}*\frac{1 molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{1molO}{1molH20}*\frac{16gr}{1molO}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=11,2\frac{gO}{s}

iii)Just considering the hydrogen in the stream (for 1 mole of water there is 2 moles of hydrogen):

100\frac{lb}{h} *\frac{453,5g}{1lb}*\frac{1 molH20}{18,016g}*\frac{2molH}{1molH20}*\frac{1gr}{1molH}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=1,4\frac{gH}{s}

Which two changes would increase the gravitational force between two
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.

E. Decrease the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.

This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  • It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.
