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∝

A piece of copper alloy with a mass of 85.0 g is heated from 30. °C to 45 °C. In the process, it absorbs 523 J of energy as heat
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

410.196 J/[kg*°C].

Explanation:

1) the equation of the energy is: E=c*m*(t₂-t₁), where E - energy (523 J), c - unknown specific heat of copper, m - mass of this copper [kg], t₂ - the final temperature, t₁ - initial temerature;

2) the specific heat of copper is:

c=\frac{E}{m*(t_2-t_1)}; \ => \ c=\frac{523}{0.085*(45-30)}=\frac{523}{1.275}=410.196[\frac{J}{kg*C}].

which has a higher entropy for the reaction: 2nh3(g)→n2(g) 3h2(g) which has a higher entropy for the reaction: reactants product
krok68 [10]

The one that has a higher entropy for the reaction is products.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is a measureable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty. It is the measurement of the amount of thermal energy per unit of temperature in a system that cannot be used for productive work. It is a measure of a system's molecular disorder or unpredictability since work is produced by organized molecular motion.

It should bm be noted that the entropy of gas is more than entropy of aqueous which is more than the entropy of liquid and the entropy of solid.

On the product side there are more gas than the reactant side. Therefore, product has more entropy.

As the atomic number increases, the number of _ _, too.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Protons

Explanation:

The atomic number represents the number of protons. Therefore, as the atomic number increases, the number of protons does too.

I hope this helps! :)
