Please Help!! How does alpha decay change the nucleus of radioactive atom.

Chemistry
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

An aqueous magnesium chloride solution is made by dissolving 7.15 moles of MgCl2 in sufficient water so that the final volume of
irinina [24]

Answer:

2.86mol/L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of MgCl₂  = 7.15moles

Volume of solution  = 2.50L

Unknown:

Molarity of the MgCl₂ solution = ?

Solution:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of solute found in a given volume.

  Molarity  = \frac{number of moles }{volume}  

 Insert the parameters and solve;

   Molarity  = \frac{7.15}{2.5}   = 2.86mol/L

What is the pH of a solution with hydrogen ion concentration of 1 x 10^–6 M?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 6,00.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. pH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H +)

pH= -log (1x10^-6)

<em>pH= 6, 00</em>

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 4.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.]\
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

 4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (9.8) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (39.2) moles of  O^{2-}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of moles of  is  n =  4.90  \ mols

The formation reaction of Mg(ClO_4)_2  is

             Mg^{2+} + 2 Cl^{-} + 8O^{2+} \to Mg(ClO_4)_2  

From the reaction we see that

   1 mole of  Mg(ClO_4)_2  is formed by 2 moles of Cl^{-} 1 mole of  Mg^{2+} and 4  O^{2-}

 This implies that

   4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (2 * 4.90) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (1 * 4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (8 * 4.90) moles of  O^{2-}

So

  4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (9.8) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (39.2) moles of  O^{2-}
