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.

A circle has a radius of 5 feet and a central angle AOB that measures 10°. What is the length of the intercepted arc AB? Use 3.1

algol [13]

We are asked to solve for the arc length of the intercepted arc and the formula is shown below:
Arc length = 2*pi*r(central angle/360°)
r = 5 feet
central angle = 10°

Solving for the arc length, we have:
Arc length = 2*3.14*5 (10/360)
Arc length = 0.872 feet

The arc length is 0.872 feet.

A stock phenolphthalein solution was prepared by dissolving 0.050 g in a total volume of 100.0 ml. You place one drop (0.050 ml)

devlian [24]

Answer:

the value of molar absorptivity is 229000 $M^{-1} cm^{-1}$

Explanation:

given data

phenol phthalein solution = 0.050 g

total volume = 100.0 ml

dilute = 100.0 ml

diluted sample = 0.18

solution

we get here concentration that is express as

concentration = ( mass of solute × 1000 ) ÷ ( molar mass of solute × volume of solution ) .............1

put here value

concentration = $\frac{0.050\times 1000}{318.32\times 100}$

concentration = 0.00157 M

and here dillution equation is express as

c1 × v1 = c2 × v2 .................2

here c1 and c2 is initial and final concentration

and v1 and v2 is initial and final volume

put here value

0.001571 × 0.050 = c2 × 100

c2 = 7.855 × $10^{-7}$ M

and

now we get molar by absorbance equation that is

A = E × C × l ................3

here A is absorbance and E is molar and c is absorptivity and l is path length

put here value

0.18 = E × 7.855 × $10^{-7}$ × 1

E = 229000 $M^{-1} cm^{-1}$
