Write a nuclear equation for the decay of Polonium 211

Chemistry

kumpel [21]3 years ago
3 0

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.

describe in general terms an experiment to determine the molal freezing point depression constant kf of water. Assume the availa
Dvinal [7]
A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point: 
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.

How it looks. basically the thing that tells you how it change. for example if an ice cube was melted (heat), it only changed physically not chemically as the h20 molecules are still there. however lets say you burn woos— you cant get that would back. its ash now and it has changed chemically.
