Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

d. the nucleus is decaying

Explanation:

A radioactive isotope are variations of of a chemical element with different molecular mass and an unstable nucleus that emit alpha, beta or gamma radiation. An isotope releasing an alpha particle during nuclear decay, releases two neutrons and two protons which make up the alpha particle. If an beta particle is released, then a negative charge equivalent to an electron is released from the nucleus during disintegration. Both forms of nuclear decay results in the release of Gamma radiation.

ome isotopes release an alpha particle during nuclear disintegration; an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons (equivalent to the nucleus of an atom of helium). Others release a beta particle, which is an electron, or negatively charged nuclear particle. Beta particles originate in the nucleus, presumably by breakdown of a neutron into its proton-electron components. Gamma rays are released during both types of radioactive decay.

4Ga + 3S2 ⇒ 2Ga2S3
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

2415.9g (corrected to 1 d.p.)

Explanation:

(Take the atomic mass of Ga=69.7 and S=32.1)

Assuming Ga is the limiting reagent (because the question did not mention the amount of sulphur burnt),

From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of Ga:Ga2S3 = 4: 2 = 2: 1, which means, every 2 moles of Ga burnt, 1 mole of Ga2S3 is produced.

Using this ratio, let y be the no. of moles of Ga2S3 produced,

\frac{2}{1} =\frac{20.5}{y}

y = 20.5 / 2

= 10.25 mol

Since mass = no. of moles x molar mass,

the mass of Ga2S3 produced = 10.25 x (69.7x2 + 32.1x3)

= 2415.9g (corrected to 1 d.p.)

Please solve! Thanks
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Oxygen needed for Stannous Oxide: 1.350g

Oxygen needed for Stannic Oxide: 2.710g

Explanation:

You're working with 10.00 grams of Tin mass for both Stannous Oxide and Stannic Oxide.

- 10.00 grams of Tin for Stannous Oxide is already 88.10% of the mass needed. You need to find how much 11.90% of Oxygen mass is needed to create the compound. Find a factor that you can multiply 88.10% by to get 100%

- 88.10 * x = 100

- Solve for x and you get 1.135

- Multiply that number by the mass of Tin (10.00 grams) to get the complete compound (Mixture of Tin and Oxygen).

- 10.00g * 1.135 = 11.35g (Tin + Oxygen)

- Subtract (Compound - Tin) to find Oxygen

- 11.35g - 10.00g = 1.350g (Oxygen)

Repeat the process with Stannic Oxide

- Find the factor that gets 78.70% to 100%

- 100/78.70 = 1.271

- Multiply by Tin mass

- 10.00g * 1.271 = 12.71g (Compound)

- Subtract Compound by Tin

- 12.71g - 10.00g = 2.710g (Oxygen)

Two gases helium and x are released from one end of an evacuated long cylinder at the same time if it takes helium atoms 3 times
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Hypoflorous acid, HOF

Explanation:

From the question, we're told that the helium atoms effuses 3 times than the said gas X.

We can determine the rate of effusion by using the formula

r is inversely proportional to 1/√M, where M is the molecular mass of the gas.

And also,

r is inversely proportional to 1/t, where t is the time taken for effusion.

From both formulas I listed, we can conclude that t is directly proportional to √M. And thus we proceed.

The molecular mass of Helium is 4.

tHe = tX/3, where tx is the time taken for the unknown gas X

As of yet, we don't know the molecular mass of X. Next, we say that

tX/tHe =√Mx/MHe

3 = √Mx/4

If we square both the sides, to remove the square root, we have

9 = Mx/4

Mx = 36

The molecular mass of the unknown gas X is 36.
