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∝

If water was used to rinse the burette used to dispense the hydrochloric acid solution, how would this affect

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of hydrochloric acid would be estimated to be less.

Explanation:

This is because, the hydroxyl ions from water react with the hydrogen ions from the hydrochloric acid, hence decreasing the moles of hydrogen ions which lowers the acidic strength of Hydrochloric acid.

How many formula units are there in 212 grams of mgCl2

AleksandrR [38]

Formula units are there in 212 grams of MgCl₂ are 830.56

Formula is the empirical of any ionic or covalent network solid compound used as an independent entity for stoichiometric calculations and it is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound

Here given data is

MgCl₂ = 212 grams

1 mole of magnesium chloride has mass = 95.211 gram and contains 6.022×10²³formula units of magnesium chloride

Here 212 grams×6.022×10²³form unit of MgCl₂/95.211 gram = 830.56

calculate pressure exerted by 1.255 mol of CI2 in a volume of 5.005 L at a temperature 273.5 k using ideal gas equation

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The pressure is 5.62 atm.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P * V = n * R * T

In this case:

P= ?
V= 5.005 L
n= 1.255 mol
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$
T= 273.5 K

Replacing:

P* 5.005 L= 1.255 mol* 0.082 $\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}$ *273.5 K

Solving:

$P=\frac{1.255 mol* 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *273.5 K}{5.005 L}$

P= 5.62 atm

<u><em>The pressure is 5.62 atm.</em></u>
