What is the molar mass of H3PO4?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.99 g/mol (Approx.)

Explanation:

Find:

Molar mass of H3PO4

Given;

Molar mass of H = 1.0079 g/mol

Molar mass of P = 30.974 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol

Computation:

Molar mass of H3PO4  = (1.0079)(3) + 30.974 + 15.999(4)

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 3.0237 + 30.974 + 63.996

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.9937

Molar mass of H3PO4  = 97.99 g/mol (Approx.)

1. In our counting unit, an OWL is 7 items.
Marrrta [24]

Explanation:

1) If we have 1/2 OWLs of Snicker bars, then number of items or Snicker bars :

1 OWL = 7 items (given)

\frac{1}{2}\times 7 items=3.5 items

We have 3.5 Snickers bars.

2) If we have 100 OWLs of pencils, then number of items or pencils :

1 OWL = 7 items (given)

100\times 7 items=700 items

We have 700 pencils.

3) If we have 2 OWLs of iron atom, then number of iron atoms :

1 OWL = 7 items (given)

2\times 7 items=14 atoms of iron

We have 14 atoms of iron.

In a nuclear reaction, which quantity is the same before and after the change?(1 point)
vivado [14]

Answer:In alpha decay, shown in Fig. 3-3, the nucleus emits a 4He nucleus, an alpha particle. Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio. An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles. Alpha radiation reduces the ratio of protons to neutrons in the parent nucleus, bringing it to a more stable configuration. Many nuclei more massive than lead decay by this method.

Consider the example of 210Po decaying by the emission of an alpha particle. The reaction can be written 210Po Æ 206Pb + 4He. This polonium nucleus has 84 protons and 126 neutrons. The ratio of protons to neutrons is Z/N = 84/126, or 0.667. A 206Pb nucleus has 82 protons and 124 neutrons, which gives a ratio of 82/124, or 0.661. This small change in the Z/N ratio is enough to put the nucleus into a more stable state, and as shown in Fig. 3-4, brings the "daughter" nucleus (decay product) into the region of stable nuclei in the Chart of the Nuclides.

In alpha decay, the atomic number changes, so the original (or parent) atoms and the decay-product (or daughter) atoms are different elements and therefore have different chemical properties.

Upper end of the Chart of the Nuclides

In the alpha decay of a nucleus, the change in binding energy appears as the kinetic energy of the alpha particle and the daughter nucleus. Because this energy must be shared between these two particles, and because the alpha particle and daughter nucleus must have equal and opposite momenta, the emitted alpha particle and recoiling nucleus will each have a well-defined energy after the decay. Because of its smaller mass, most of the kinetic energy goes to the alpha particle.
