Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
84.2 grams
Explanation:
you have to multiply 8.42x10^18 to get the answer above
The final temperature : 345 K

</h3>
Given
475 cm³ initial volume
600 cm³ final volume
Required
The final temperature
Solution
At standard temperature and pressure , T = 273 K and 1 atm
Charles's Law :
When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature
V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂
Input the value :
T₂=(V₂T₁)/V₁
T₂=(600 x 273)/475
T₂=345 K
The atomic mass on the periodic table represents the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Hope this helps!
