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∝

Paul [167]
Assuming its at r. t.p and pressure
no. of moles = 96/24=4moles
altho some books will say that its 23.7dm3/mole but that doesnt really matter because its the process that matters

Answer: The moles of melatonin are 0.000043

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Given mass of melatonin = 0.01 g

Molar mass of melatonin (C_{13}H_{16}N_2O_2) = 232.28 g/mol

\text{Number of moles of melatonin}=\frac{0.01 g}{232.28g/mol}=0.000043mol

Thus the moles of melatonin in 0.01 g are 0.000043
