Answer:

₈₄Po²¹¹ → ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Explanation:

Polonium-211 is unstable nuclei. It undergoes alpha decay and produce Pb-207 and alpha particle.

Nuclear equation:

₈₄Po²¹¹ → ₈₂Pb²⁰⁷ + ₂He⁴ + energy

Properties of alpha radiation:

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 less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

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 balloon is inflated such that a radius is 7 cm what is the volume of air inside the balloon in milliliters

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$V=14373.33\ \text{mm}^3$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The radius of the inflated balloon is 7 cm.

We need to find the volume of air inside the balloon in milliliters.

The balloon is in the shape of a sphere whose volume is given by :

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\\text{Put r = 7 cm}\\\\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 7\times 7\times 7\\\\V=1437.33\ \text{cm}^3\\\\\text{We know that, 1 cm = 10 mm}\\\\\text{So},\\\\V=14373.33\ \text{mm}^3$

Hence, the volume of the air inside the balloon is $14373.33\ \text{mm}^3$ .

Which of the following measurements is used to measure the enthalpy of combustion? A. None of these B. Measuring the change in t

DaniilM [7]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.

So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.

When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.

Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.

q = $m \times C \times \Delta T$

Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = $mc \Delta T$ .
