The decay of radium-226 produces an isotope

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ

Explanation:

This radioactive decay occurs when the unstable radium-226 atom wants to lose energy by emitting an alpha particle from its nucleus which is an helium nucleus with no electron. The radium (86) is transformed to radon(Rn) where the atomic number of radium (88) is reduced by two units into radon, Rn (86) and mass number reduced by 4 units.

The equation for the transformation is;

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ  where

²²⁶₈₈Ra ---------radium-226

²²²₈₆Rn -------radon-222

⁴₂He ----------alpha particle

⁰₀γ ------------energy

Note that ⁴₂He can also be written as : ⁴₂∝

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

3.

Knowns: 100mL of solution; concentration of 0.7M

Unknown: number of moles

Equation: number of moles = volume * concentration

Plug and Chug: number of moles = 100/1000 * 0.7 = 0.07 mole

Final Answer: 0.07mole

2.

Knowns: 5.50L of solution; concentration of 0.400M

Unknown: number of moles

Equation: number of moles = volume * concentration

Plug and Chug: number of moles = 5.5 * 0.4 = 2.20 mole

Final Answer: 2.20 mole

a 22.44g sample of iron absorbs 180.8 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 21.1C to 39.0/ what is
NeX [460]

Answer:

The specific heat of iron is 0.45 J/g.°C

Explanation:

The amount of heat absorbed by the metal is given by:

heat = m x Sh x ΔT

From the data, we have:

heat = 180.8 J

mass = m = 22.44 g

ΔT = Final temperature - Initial temperature = 39.0°C - 21.1 °C = 17.9°C

Thus, we calculate the specific heat of iron (Sh) as follows:

Sh = heat/(m x ΔT)  = (180.8 J)/(22.44 g x 17.9°C) = 0.45 J/g.°C

An adult mosquitoes lifespan is about 16 days how many minutes is that
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is 23, 040 minutes. To solve this you can start by changing days in to hours. We know that there are 24 hours in a day. To find how many hours are in 16 days you multiply 24 by 16 which is 384. Next you must find out how many minutes are in 384 hours. we know there are 60 minutes per hour. To find how many minutes are in 384 hours, you multiply 384 by 60. To this you get 23, 040 which is your answer.
